UWE Bristol
Cardiff
Oxford Brookes
Plymouth
then Portsmouth or UCL
...I really wanna apply to UCL but it just seems so competitive and I feel so pressured organising a portfolio for it because I heard it's so art based so not really sure on my fifth choice, haha! how about you? :smile:

I applied for:
Cambridge
UCL
Oxford Brookes
UAL
Westminster
Well I guess UCL is my very first choice altho it's so so competitive. I decided it's worth trying. And Brookes is also quite nice, a combination between Cambridge and UCL.

Hey! I did receive my task, in fact my deadline is 28th of October, when it should be received by UCL. Well they can be in any technique, except collages, photographs and other 3D stuff. I used watercolors, acrils, charcoal, pastel, graphite and markers. I still have 2 works to do tho. What subject did you choose- 1,2 or 3? (Just use the numbers, let's not let others know the task just yet muahahaha)

Applied for K100 too, we have the very same task. The task is quite ambiguous. My counselor told me to do all the times in each work- which I found stupid. I researched a bit through previous assessment tasks, I reread the email and finally decided that I should choose only one subject and then follow the time lines for each of the 6 works. They mention that in the text we need to write to explain the stuff we did, we should say why we chose that specific subject. That's why I understood to do all the 6 works on a subject. Dunno, hope it'll be fine

i understood we are supposed to write at each paper why we chose that subject. anyhow, the task is interpretable. i thought of asking for clarifications from bartlett directly, but i am easily intimidated. so which one did you choose?

Yeah, I guess it just matters more how one solves the task not how it interprets it. I chose the first one :smile:

What deadline you have?

well, in my country we have the baccalaureat , but it isn't the international type. we have grades from 1 to 10, 10 being the best. my teachers predicted overall above 9, which is true and quite good, and the portfolio is coming along, with the stuff that i already have, some projects in the process, and as I am also applying to sheffield and they ask for a selection from the portfolio, it's going to be a lot of work in the next few weeks, plus i have my ielts in november...
how about you?

What country are you from? I'm neither from UK and we have the same system with grades from 1 to 10 and my teachers predicted 9.5 and I got Ielts Band 8.
