Art applicants for 2012 entry

Well i was having a forum rest today but had to get on my phone browser and tell u that Brighton have given me an Unconditional offer for Critical fine art, and im crying a bit too.... feel so funny...

You know i probably will . They gave me the most personal interview and we the best chat. Yet were still challenging me so flattered to get unconditional. I might stay in london and commute though coz i dont want to move. So have to think of it carefully but i love how they've given me an unconditional. i do love Brighton and its character. Its quirky like me...also, i might be able to move my mum and look after her there. Cant do that in london!

it's for first year fine art photography, oh wow just 12, photography was 20 and i thought that was a tiny amount. april seems about right bc at my interview they mentioned that painting had loads to go through, were behind and hadnt even started interviews at that point, how did you find it and good luck!

anyone heard back from slade school yet(fine art)?
My interview was 9th, I don't know why it takes too long.....
I don't think it's good meaning.....

That's amazing! Well done:] Are you going to accept??

Oh well done you! Im so pleased for you! Brighton seems so great.

Im so nervous about firming a uni, I thought I had it all sorted out but I went to a workshop at the National Theatre yesterday and there were all these students from CSSD and I thought: 'I cant be part of this if Im in Cardiff'.
And these people at Wimbledon winning Oscars and Oliviers for their stage design. Its maddening.
I fell like if I choose one school over the others Im losing out on something.
Wish they would just make one big art/theatre school and we could all go there!!!

Phew, what a vent! Sorry, just seems so important to choose the right school!

I had my Goldsmiths interview yesterday and idk... I think I had the same women as you, joverbena. They were OK interested in my work and asked me some good questions, but they said also my work was a bit too "literal" and if I'd considered just doing ___. I don't know. I'd say it's 50/50 I get a place or not; but it was certainly the most challenging interview I've had... not because they ask many hard questions but you're expected to talk a lot on the spot about your work.

Finally all 5 interviews finished!!! Apparently I won't find out my result from Goldsmiths Fine Art until the end of april:[ now to play the waiting game!!

**** ive just remembered i need to take a piece of writing to the interview, did either of you take one and did they even look at it? or did they forget?

Ahhhh end of april is so long away, should be cos of the easter break i guess

yeah they asked but he didn't read it, but I think its because it's the same essay I submitted for e portfolio, which they said was acceptable on the interview invite, so just do that:]

Scanned through a folder I took of writing inc the essay I uploaded, I took my final major project statement of intent too and they took it away from me to look at later

Also how much work did u take?

Kingston criticized me for taking too little so im getting self conscious about this

I just took two essays, fmp statement and short essays i did for my art history distance course. But i think it was to make up for not so much sketchbook work so i dont think its important to bring too much writing, so dont be self concious! I think i must be on the maybe/reject pile and think i should have filled more sketchbooks so just use what youv got and distract them with your enthusiasm

Cooool ive just noticed how much writing i have in my sketchbooks anyways, more writing than drafting

How much separate artwork did you take in your portfolio though? im struggling with this :/

Mm about maybe 15/16 A1 Sheets possibly less. Decided cos it was A1 that quality better than quantity. But not so sure with goldsmiths, sorry! Think most important thing is to draw attention to what you want to talk about though in your portfolio but i guess 20 (A2?) pages is usually, the recommended amount. I had a feeling by the end they would have maybe liked to have seen more. So bring as much sketchbook stuff you have! it was as if one of the tutors was ONLY looking through the sketchbook work i had and my other bits (writing) and the stricter lady was look solely and talking to me about portfolio. I think my sketchbook let me down a bit!

Right leaving in an hour wish me luck!! thanks for the advice

confidence confidence **** **** ****

Ah, Do you feel unsure how you did like i do? they seemed positive about what i had to say about why i chose the course. Knowing some people have been accepted on the spot though ..doesn't feel too promising! What do you think about it there?

Don't worry I feel the same, did you apply for BA (Hons) Fine Art or the BA (Hons) Fine Art & History of Art?? I applied for the BA (Hons) Fine Art and I'm hoping they don't offer anyone a place on the spot...
