    Does anyone know about mini portfolios to chelsea ba fine art and wimbledon ba fine art print &time based media? Do applicants have to wait for an instructed email or just send them off? ( I think chelsea is 10 images and 250 word statement? - Not sure about wimbledon :s) PLEASE HELP!
    I assume its the same as for Central St Martins so your supposed to send it at the same time as your UCAS, once they have both they send you an acknowledgement. I got an acknowledgement like 3-4 weeks after sending in my mini portfolio. They didnt send me anything before that. They took their time.

    Has anyone heard from UAL yet? Ive applied to CSM for BA Fashion Design and haven't heard anything yet...
    Only an acknowledgement letter, nothing further yet. But it seems their known for being really really slow so I wouldn't worry.

    I've applied for BA photography at Camberwell AND the BA fashion photography + FDA Fashion photography courses, received acknowledgement for all but BA fashion photog. Anyone else terrified about what to wear to an LCF interview if they come around?

    I got an email from Chelsea saying that my application had been received and that the portfolio process will begin soon. Crossing my fingers, toes and other miscellaneous items.

    I've applied to Ba Honours Fashion Design at CSM

    I haven't had an acknowledgement so far

    But I have one question, if I sent my application was sent to CSM without the mini portfolio....will I not receive an acknowledgement or any type of reply? Because I under the impression that you had to wait for an email or some sort of instruction before sending off your mini portfolio...I'm confused! Help!

    The email you should have received is this one, which I received on the 22 of December. I Applied on the 11th October. Hope this helps.

    Dear Applicant,

    We have now received your application to the above course here at CCM.

    You will be aware that you should submit a mini portfolio when you apply to the course.

    This e-mail is to make you aware that you must submit your mini portfolio no later than Friday 20th January 2012.

    Home/EU and International applicants applying through UCAS

    At the same time that you apply through UCAS you must send in a mini portfolio of your work and an additional 250 word statement about the mini-portfolio, directly to the College.

    Note:
    Do not deviate from A4 size, mount your prints or present them in any form of binder or portfolio.
    Do ensure that your name and UCAS number are clearly displayed on the personal statement.

    Yeah, they'll understand, I'm sure other people have done it before. Just tell them that you'll send one straight away.
