DJCAD Applicants 2014

Seeing as there was no thread yet for 2014 i figured I would do the honours. It'd be nice to have one now considering the portfolio dates are out!

so what has everyone applied to? (General foundation anyone? :smile:)

I'm have applied to study architecture at DJCAD,GSA,RGU,ECA and as a back up Structural Engineering at Heroit Watt. So far I have two conditionals at RGU and Heroit Watt. Along with that I have an interview for Dundee, so all in all I'm very excited. :smile:

Does anyone know if there are any examples of successful portfolios floating about the internet? I didnt go to their portfolio day at cardonald college and i beginning to regret it...

but yeah i was a bit of an idiot and took subjects this year that required various coursework so i have the djcad portfolio, a physics project and a dissertation (that i probably should start) all due within 3 weeks. Gee isn't s6 fun!

Has anyone applied for Graphic Design or Textiles? Had both my interviews and now I'm really nervous about hearing back from them!

I'm applying to djcad too this year - for the general course, fine art, illustration and APCP. I have an interview for APCP and an unconditional for computer arts at Abertay too. :smile:

I applied for the General Foundation from France! x) Freaking out when I see all of the work that gets done on sketchbooks and the like in the UK, cause I've never really done that sort of thing much. :c Anyway, this is a really useful site : www.studentartguide.com :biggrin:

What do you mean when you say the portfolio dates are out? I applied for Graphic Design (I'm international) but I haven't heard a thing back! :frown:

I applied to general foundation so there's only a portfolio, i think if you apply to second year you get interviewed as well?



also; are they already giving out offers to general foundation? :s-smilie: I thought everyone had to give in a portfolio...

I applied for 3rd year actually, I'm already halfway through a program in the US but need a change in scenery. I submitted my portfolio already though.

Well I submitted mine back when everyone else did I think.. And haven't gotten an interview or anything. But again, idk if they have a different system for international students.
