University of Kent Applicants 2012

Wow. I didn't even know there was a "second" deadline =/
Do you just get considered after those who met the initial deadline?

AS far as I understand it, applicants are split into three groups.
1. Oxbridge and medic, etc. students
2. 'Standard' students
3. Art and Design students.
With each group having a different set of deadlines.
It would appear that Architecture is classed in the third option, although I thought it would have been in the second.

Congratulations c:
Have you heard from all you unis now then?




*waves* and heyyy c: Fellow architect applicant here ^^
Where else have you applied/are you applying to?

Architecture (and the rest of the design subjects) usually require a portfolio to be put together, and then that portfolio needs to be judged. You get more time for this, I believe.

Thought I would register to add my name to the list! I've had a conditional offer for politics and international relations with a year abroad and Kent is my first choice so Im really happy!

Good luck to everyone still waiting for offers or going to interviews

Thank you No, I have three more to hear from, but for now, I intend to put Kent down as my insurance.

I see you have your priorities right

If you weren't willing to go for an interview, why even apply?

I hope it works out with the other, 'better' Universities, despite the fact I'm willing to bet you've seen none of them, either.

Perhaps Kent imposes strict procedures like this to weed out undesirable candidates. Looks like it's working.

Where else? If you don't mind me asking >< and have you applied for accommodation yet?

Because I was willing to have one just Kent were being difficult and were not willing to do a phone/skype interview. Unlike other universities who are more than happy to do this option with consideration.

Kent is a good university I agree but I would not call it amazing. I used to live in Hampstead London and have an unconditional from Kings College so I'm probaby going to put that as my firm. Wanted a break from city life so applied to Kent since I've visited Canterbury before and enjoyed my time there.

Lol ouch.

But seriously, pay 750 pounds just for an interview to Kenttt? I rather have a rejection then pay that much, thinking about it I don't even think I have that much money in my bank account currently!

Like maybe if they gave me a few months to save up I would consider it but they gave me less than two months.

Not that I have anything against the people applying to Kent anyway though, good luck to you all since you made a great choice!

weheyy i have a conditional for architecture too! will probably be firming kent soon is it your first choice then? c:

hi!! i'm still doing some research on other unis in the UK..sicne i dont live there..am not sure of good ones..how about u?

well not exactly a second deadline but .. january 15th- was the British National UCAS application Deadline and 30th-June is the deadline for all other UCAS undergraduate applications..but then there's that deadline on march 24th ..thats the one i'm aiming at .

Ah, don't worry Well, I've applied to Edinburgh, Dundee, Glasgow Caledonian and Robert Gordon as well. I have already received an offer from RGU, and I'm still nervous about the Edinburgh's decision, so I haven't applied for accommodation yet Actually I'm not sure at all which one to choose as my firm, so I'm not in a rush to apply for accommodation

Explaining that you can't afford the cost of travelling to the interview at short notice is perfectly reasonable. However, if they've asked you for an interview it usually means that it's part of their selection process. You need to speek to them. Ask them if the interview is essential and if it is, offer to go when you can travel more cheaply and give them the dates. They should try to accommodate you. Note, travelling to Manston, Kent rather than a London airport my suit you better if your travelling from N.Ireland or Scotland. The link to Canterbury from Manston isn't brilliant, but it may cost considerably less.

Are you a scottish applicant by any chance? xD

lol no Actually, I'm just an EU applicant

Have u heard anything about the Law School at Kent????

i have applied for foundation maths it looks like a good uni :L i just wanna get outta north hahahaaaa
