    i an having a phone interview in a few days.i would be grateful if you'd have to answer a few questions! is it possible to let them see your newer work, eg sending some images by e-mail? it just seems unfair if we dont as the people who get interviewed on site will need to show new work. i feel like most of the stuff in my online folio is crap compared to what i've been doing lately=) did they ask you about any specific pieces in your folio? and ehm do they call you or is it thourgh skype? i am lost.

    i wish you luck!
    To be honest, I don't think you can send additional pieces, but you can still talk about them during the interview. You might ask for it. Unfortunately they just have phone interview, I guess that's because they're having technical difficulties. Which course are you applying for?
    Good luck to you too!

    Me too good luck!

    anyone else heard anything from communication design? please say no! haha.
    Thank god someone else is in the same position as me! I was convinced id just been rejected without any notice, but apparently they're STILL sorting applications. Ugh. Its weird though because a friend of mine got an interview, though possibly because she's classed as in international student. Random.

    I'm starting to think I didn't get it, wasn't expecting to get in anyway, never mind an interview.
    Hope they get back to us soon, would be nice to know where we stand!!

    I had my interview for a place on the painting and printmaking course today, and I am wondering if anyone has any information about statistics (as in how many places are there and how many people people get interviewed). I was also wondering if any body has any idea about the institution's attitude towards traditional art as apposed to conceptual? Lastly, do they really want you to have undertaken a foundation course?

    For anyone that has recently had interviews, good luck! x

    urgh! i withdrew my application from Glasgow a few days ago, and declined all my photography offers to change subject to Japanese. Get a call from GSA today about an interview! after I've withdrawn my offer! Saying they had a problem with applications, v annoyed might have made a different decision about my subject, probably not, i have faith. Gonna write them a pissy letter though. they've messed us applicants about so much this year!

    My only glimmer of hope is that I know a bunch of people who have been turned down for an interview. Hopefully thats a sign.
