    The "Step by Step guide of how to complete this form" says it should be max. 500 words.

    thanks rayray12310, i sent in my UCAS application the 26th of november and still havent gotten an email or anything, so i was kinda worried. i guess this explains it, but do you know for how long they're making these "system enhancements". I'm also applying for photography, btw.
    no worries ooo someone else who's applying for photography, well i recieved the acknowledgement email this morning so i guess enhancements are done, sent mine on the 21st so if u didnt get it today, it should be really soon.

    I am applying for Communication Design btw, does anyone know if GSA is keen on BTEC diplomas students? I've heard some universities prefer the A-level route

    same here, it's interesting to see quite a few photog applicants on here tho, as when i was going through last year's forums they seemed kind of rare.

    so who's going to be brave and give a link to some of their work?

    Did you upload your portfolio? I did it at the end of November and so far I've received only an acknowledgement.
    Have you been to GSA btw?
