History of Art 2012

Hello, I'm applying for History of Art too!

I've applied to:
Oxford - Got an interview eeekk!
Courtauld
UCL
Nottingham - Offer (ABB/AAC)
and Birmingham - Offer (ABB)

I've not heard anything from the Courtauld - not even an email saying that they have my application!! - has anyone had any contact with them?

Ooo! Which college for oxford? Waiting on Oxford, UCL and Courtauld also!

I think the Courtauld send out the questionnaire nearer, or after the Jan 15th deadline for UCAS applications I went on the open day last month and I think that's what they insinuated. And to Eviexx- I've got an interview too at Oxford- I swear I've never been more scared about anything in my entire life!

I've applied to study HoA at the University of Glasgow, Goldsmiths, the University of Bristol, theUniversity of St. Andrews & the Courtauld Institute.
So far, I've got offers from Glasgow and Goldsmiths, both ABB.
I'm off to the Courtauld Open Day on 2.12.11, so might ask about dates for the questionnaire then.

I've applied to St Peter's college - which colleges have you both applied to?
And TrixieBea I know - It's so scary! Also, which date is your interview on?

I've applied for St Peters too And my interview is on the 5th, although I'm going down the night before because it isn't physically possible for me to get a train in the morning and be in Oxford for 9am!

Hi guys, I'm not applying for history of art (but my friend is), I was just wondering if any of you took art history AS level/A level? basically we did it for the first time at our school last year, and failed epicly... most people got D's and E's, my friend who's applying to do history of art at uni and has been getting A's throughout the year got a D and was so cut up about it... I was just wondering if it's been a tricky subject with anyone else/if results have been surprising. the school's putting it down to bad teaching but in all honesty our teacher was pretty good and I really enjoyed the classes... I think we weren't prepared for the required writing style of the exam and what kind of response was needed in the analysis sections of the exam... oh well.

Hey Lumos, yeah I did much worse than expected in my as history of art as well. Was predicted a high A and got a C so I didn't apply to Cambridge this year cos I don't think they'd have even interviewed me. It's a really weird exam, I'd been getting As all year and then bombed. My teacher says that they often don't give you marks for points unless they're the exact ones in the mark scheme. Basically my friend got 100% in both papers through learning the pattern of previous mark schemes. I'm retaking and am probably taking a gap year cos it's the subject I wanna do at uni but I applied this year anyway to york, bristol, edinburgh, ucl and the courtauld. Got an offer from york on friday for AAB wooo.

Sorry to ask again but has anyone heard from any of the others cos some of my friends have heard for subjects like arch and anth (from ucl and bristol) but I don't know many other people doing history of art?

I was just wondering if it's been a tricky subject with anyone else/if results have been surprising.

I'm applying for Art History, and study it at AS/A2 - my college had the same problems, so don't know if it's an exam board thing? We're on Edexcel, I was predicted A throughout the year, and got a C in one paper, B overall (lots of people also got D's and E's) my sixth form complained and everyone was put up by 2 marks, but didn't change my grade :/

And I'm applying to Cambridge (somehow I've got an interview next week), and offers from York, Warwick, Leicester and Reading, study History of Art, History, Eng lit and Music at A2, if that helps.

Good luck everyone!
