The quality of the placement during the sandwich year (if available): obviously an internship with Burberry or D&G would be far more appreciated than one with Primark.

No portfolio contraints: unfortunately my drawing skills are extremely...terrible, so that could be a potential obstacle, even if I've seen that universities usually don't require a portfolio if there's no prior artistic experience at high school level and if the degree is not strictly design-related. I would be comfortable with things like a catalogue with my fashion benchmarks, or a shop report (extremely confident with the latter actually, as I have access to a top-tier menswear boutique and I could draw something interesting together) but no more than that.
