    I got an unconditional too. (I then managed to get locked out of my UCAS account for getting my password wrong too many times!)
    Aww well done. I'm sure you're pleased! Do you mind me asking what it was for?

    jeeeeez. That's still better than edinburgh or glasgow though! I got invited to the applicants day at ECA and I was one of 600 out of 4000 applicants. Crazy!!

    I got rejected...

    Does anyone know if it's possible to make them change thier mind? I'm an overseas student, and I really hate the idea of having to fly back to Italy. The instructions for the portfolio I didn't understand very well, so I might have given them the wrong thing. I actually have tons of good artwork to show. I've done jewelerry, comics, paintings, videos, graphics, designing all my life.

    They haven't been answering any emails when i asked about how to prepare my portfolio. I have even tried going to the college myself, but they were like "uuuh send us other emails...derp". nice service, man. really helpful people i must say!

    I've heard of a few people sending a letter asking them to reconsider and also know of 2 people who have had phone calls before the course started to tell them they had changed their mind and were offering them a place after all, presumably because others had rejected the offer and more spaces were available.

    This gave me hope.

    I'd like to speak with the tutor that judged my portfolio. It was a complete mess for various reasons...

    If I don't get anywhere I'll try in clearing.

    Thank you! I just sent them email to ask. I'm so sorry I didn't do this earlier. I was so disappointed that I just stopped thinking about it.
