Same, so I thought I'd start one! :biggrin:

I have sent in my application now, I'm applying to:

University of Reading
University of Nottingham
University of Leeds
University of York
University of Birmingham

I'm hoping to get into Leeds, although there is an interview so I'm a little more worried about that!

I wanted to apply to Bristol but their requirement grades are too high. :frown:

You?

ahhhhhhhhh im so scaaaaaared... applying this week (its not late right) also maybe its a good sign that we couldnt find a thread on history of art anywhere, maybe less people applying... MORE SPACES FOR US (12% less people applying anyway right? and like lots more people not doing arty stuff so yayayayay)

Hiya

I'm also applying for history of art - so glad i've found some other people to talk to about it cus I know absolutely no-one who is applying for it apart from me!

Application went a last tuesday and I haven't head a peep! Convinced myself entirely that I'll be receiving 5 rejections any time soon haha! I've applied for UCL, goldsmiths, courtauld, st martins and brighton! Dont have a clue when any of them are going to get back to me, hopefully soon before i have a mental breakdown :frown:

criticism communication curation?

heeey im applying to like the same places!! (apart from ucl and brighton)

ahh awesome! yeah im applying to CCC at St. Martins :smile:

it was a completely last minute decision to apply there, i've tailored my personal statement around history of art so i was a bit like will they actually be interested considering its a different course name? but tried not to let that put me off :/ did you feel like that too or is it just me? haha :smile:

have you heard anything from goldsmiths or courtauld or st martins? i havent heard a thing! :frown:

my stupid teacher hasnt even done my reference yet ah!!!!!! im applying this week though the latest hopefully lolz

and yes i felt like that too kind of but dont worry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J0gJarwh4E obvz there are no other courses called curation criticism etc (unless its like an ma) so all of the people who are applying will have history of art personal statements anyway!!

omg ahh i dont want to apply to goldsmiths i would hate it its full of gro people... i think i might change it to nottingham or glasgow? all the other places im applying to are in london... #decisions

did you get your courtauld questionnare thing yet? (i didnt even apply yet so) omg i hope im not too late... lolz

ahhh i got my offer from goldsmiths tonight! it was like my 2nd favourite place so im really happy :smile:

how comes you wanna change?

well thats put my mind at ease about the CCC situation with my personal statement.. hopefully they'll want me!! haha

i havent had my courtauld questionnaire yet no, so i dont think you're too late to apply, the deadline is january so theoretically you have ages :smile:

what subjects do you guys do+predictions? i do german, philosophy and english, predicted aab

i'm doing the irish leaving cert so i do 7 subjects: english, irish, maths, french, art, biology and history. as for my prediction grades - i really don't know (which is slightly worrying) but the guidance counsellor at my school doesn't like to show/tell us so i have my fingers crossed that what i got is enough :/
