Edinburgh college of art application response 2015

Just a quick update for 1st year entry design - I called admissions to see where they were on product design BA specifically - so this may not be true for all school of design subjects. They are still reviewing the online portfolios - no replies have been issued yet. They will start making responses towards the end of next week, it is their intention that we should have heard one way or the other by the end of the following week but certainly by the end of the month as laid out in the UCAS details.
And breathe.

They always have the best of intentions but don't often make it, so don't fret if they still haven't got back to you by then.

Still waiting for 1st year application. Has anyone else heard anything for 1st year?

I'm also still waiting for my product design 1st year application.

How about you? Which course are you applying for?

Just rang College of Art and have been told that ALL offers/rejections will definitely be out by Tuesday, so it seems we will finally know one way or the other

Thanks for being brave enough to do that and kind enough to let us know.

So they are sticking to 'end of March'. I wonder if we believe them and if it will happen?

It certainly seems that way, fingers crossed! He seemed sure everyone would know by then. My daughter has applied for 2nd year Illustration and I asked if it was likely she had been rejected as she didn't receive an invitation to the applicant days, I gave him her details and he came back to me basically saying her application was still being reviewed, or something along those lines I guess it's a 'wait and see' situation

Just rang College of Art and have been told that ALL offers/rejections will definitely be out by Tuesday, so it seems we will finally know one way or the other

So today's the day - I wonder how many of us believe that?

Just got an offer for 1st year product design! Wondering if anyone else had heard back for the course?

Well Done!!!
I got rejected for second year illustration, but was expecting it because I wasn't invited to an applicant day

So today's the day - I wonder how many of us believe that?

Well, at the end of that, rejected for Animation, but got an offer for Illustration (both first year). Sorry to hear all the folks that didn't quite make it, but Edinburgh's loss is another uni's gain - and hopefully yours, too!

Interesting thing I heard whilst wandering around the uni yesterday - because Edinburgh is so over-subscribed when it comes to applications, if you apply for two or more different courses, you're guaranteed to be rejected for at least one. Anecdotal, but tallies with my experience. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Certainly not true across the University - I know several people who had/have more than one offer from Edinburgh for example MA and Bmus for Music,
LLB and joint Law and German, Geophysics and Geology and History and history joint with English

It might be true for the College of Art ( although Music is in the College of Art now so maybe not!) It is just one of those rumours that starts because people are rejected . It is more likely that you are rejected from the one that is either more competitive or your personal statement wasn't quite as strong for) In the end it is always going to be difficult to write a personal statement aimed at two different subjects so rejection from one of them might not be that surprising !

Well done on your offer if you go I am sure you will enjoy it
