    Another Graphic design student!
    At the GD+T they said they don't look at portfolios because of time constraints. Which is lucky really, I only have some product design and a little bit of web design so far.... I'm taking a foundation course before hand though. What have you got in yours?
    ohhh, i've only looked on the website which said something about portfolios... haven't been to any open days cause i can't get there
    all i've really got is my design coursework from this year and last, which is really rubbish because it's product design... and i've never taken graphic design, i took media and tech systems at GCSE...
    really struggling with what to put in my personal statement too D:

    Well the letter I got in the post with the interview had a return slip, and the options were:

    1) I shall be please to attend for interview on ...

    2) I am unable to attend for interview on ... and would like to arrange another date.

    3) I am unable to attend for interview but would like an offer based on my UCAS form.

    Originally I sent an email saying I would attend interview, but then I realized that I couldn't, and so the lady said she'd arrange for an offer to be made based on my UCAS.

    I think it may also depend on predicted grades, reference, etc.

    Good luck with your application. What are you applying for?

    How long did you wait before they acknowledged you, out of interest? 'Cause I've had acknowledgements from my other choices by now but not Leeds :\

    Define stink? My GCSEs were 2 As, 8Bs and 2Cs for an AAB course (pre A*)
    Compared to TSR standard, they stink XD, I got a mixture of A's and B's and and A* in English language. Are they good for politics at Leeds perhaps?
