OH MY GOD GUYS so I found le internet in my Yangshuo hotel tonight and I got a track change email and my heart instantly fell, because I was so certain I had gotten a rejection from Goldsmiths. I didn't feel like my interview had gone particularly well or anything.

And then, trololol: Goldsmiths BA Fine Art, conditional. 8'D A university loves me! I'm not forever alone!
My first choice is actually Chelsea, but this still makes me so happy, haha.

They must have sent me a letter, I suppose. Is that what you guys got? I'm in China right now so I haven't seen my mail yet.

Anyway, emotional moment over. Congratulations to (I believe) glitter_ever and Ham_Sandwich, who also got into Goldsmiths, and Farout for being increeeeedible and getting into Slade. <3 you guys, so much happiness for you.

Well done!! So pleased for you. Best wishes for getting into Chelsea! I think I remember you have the interview around 20th April?

Thankyou, maybe see you at Goldsmiths in September if you don't go to Chelsea! Glad you got such good news I know how you feel, I got the news on my flat balcony in London after having a really emotionally bad day, had a panic attack that day and everything, got a UCAS update and thought, here's a reject to top it off.. so when I got the news on my phone it felt doubly sweet! And yes you should get a letter, saying along the lines of 'congratulations, we are delighted to tell you etc... this is a great achievement, we hope you choose goldsmiths'. I've had soooo many letter's in the past that start 'we regret to inform you' so i did stare at it a while

goldsmiths or slade?

could people give me some advice?
thanks

I think they are right you have to trust your instincts. I had the same choice but I enjoyed the interview and what seemed to be the variety when I went round the Slade. They both have great reputations.
Good luck!

[Ham_Sandwich]

So.....how many of us exactly are going to Goldsmith next year? It seems like everyone who applied has been offered a place! We'll be a proper TSR gang

I already live 5 mins walk away I am a 'mature' (hate that term) student so already have my own place - the new camberwell campus building is beautiful though and being just opposite the college its perfect (dont really know the other two). I adore the area, have lived here for 7 years - you'll love it. Which course are you doing???

[RunningHam]

Just firmed Kingston. Whoooooooop!
Feels very official now.
But nice to have something concrete.

Aww, thanks so much. xxx And yes, I have my interview on the 16th of April, pretty damn late. Do you think I should email Goldsmiths to make sure by when I have to confirm/reject the offer? I think it's May something but the last thing I want is it to be automatically withdrawn while waiting for Chelsea to reply, haha.

And congratulations to you too; I'm so happy for you - that must have been so glorious after such a ****ty day (and rather romantic, as well... receiving the news on your balcony!) I can't wait to receive my letter when I get back. Hope I do see you in September; I'll wait until I know about Chelsea to make a really good, informed decision.

Made a FB page for Goldsmiths PG students to connect! Like it and maybe we can make a nice forum for discussion!

I know, I cant wait either, I keep going back over the old degree shows and looking at sculpture graduates websites...

I came accross the letter that last years sculpture students got about what tools they needed and what they had to do over summer - im guessing ours wont be much different - have attached it if you havent already found it! See you in sept

[Ham_Sandwich]

Has anyone had any news about Goldsmiths accomodation? It's meant to open in April and well, it's April now

it's for fine art.
I did a foundation course in 2008-2009... But I thought I'd applied for 1st year entry, so kind of a surprise to hear my examination is for 2nd. Haven't had much time to work in my studio over the past year due to work and exams so most of my work is "theoretical" so to say - not sure how they will judge that
