    GSA have definitely started answering now, this girl I know who went to an interview with them about 2 weeks ago just told me she got rejected (applied for fashion). So everyone who didn't get a rejection yet should just wait patiently to get accepted! (as I assume they're sending out the bad news first)
    I haven't even had a bloomin' interview! :/

    I hope so! I keep thinking its ridiculous that they haven't got back to me at all, but neither have St Martins, so I guess the more prestigious the institution, the more they can afford to totally neglect their applicants! Im half joking, but still...its rather annoying. :/ Positive vibes your way! Are you applying to 1st or 2nd year comm design?

    apparently you'll hear in april, not sure how many got interviews but 600 applied and for 2nd yr entry 12 get places not sure how many for first year, tho id assume the ratios are similar to fine art photog which was 300 applicants, 80 interviews, 17-20 places, good luck, i cant wait to start in september

    The woman from the photography department is really lovely, she said there are still a few people left i was one of them, so don't loose faith guys!! they have definitely had some major problems with computer systems, still its not right that they couldn't be bothered to contact us to tell us! She offered to interview me even though i have already accepted another university, very kind!!
