I was just watching the application statistics at http://university.which.co.uk/
Some places like Chelsea, CSM and Camberwell Fine Art has about 27-33 % of applicants receiving offers.
So theres only 150-200 applicants? Isn't that kind of low, considering there are like 40-50 places or so on those courses, and that there are quite a few who don't attend the interviews and choose something else if they get in. That means about 1/3 are offered a place.
In comparison, in Sweden it's typically about 1-2 that are accepted for every 50 applicants at our art colleges, that is a huuuuuuge difference.

One of the courses at the GSA has an acceptance rate of 11%, I think.
Perhaps you should check out the courses at GSA and ECA? The two institutions are very competitive, and people say it's hard to get in.

Hey!! Really late here haha. I applied to GSA, ECA, DJCAD and GRAYS. I applied for contemporary arts at grays and was offered a place, same with Edinburgh for painting but im going to decline Edinburgh. My first choice is the general foundation at DJCAD, so im really hoping for that. Is anyone else? I was rejected for p&p at GSA which im okay with because i didnt want to go there anyway.
hi, congratulations on the offers!! i applied for painting and printmaking at gsa, which i had an interview for, and painting at edinburgh and got an offer for that and i applied to the general course at djcad too. i'm still not sure about where my first choice is
Applied to Brighton (fine art critical practice) CSM, Goldsmiths and Plymouth college of art, all for fine art :-) have interviews for all, only had my Brighton one on Monday and thought it went so well! Keep checking my emails frantically.... anyone know how long Brighton usually take to give offers?

has anyone applied to Fine Art at Falmouth or Critical practice at Brighton?? i got offers from both but don't know which course to go to ;//
I applied to the critical practise one- looks like a good course to me
both quite different options! i suppose it will depend how much art theory/critical practise vs art making time you want.

I'd recommend doing a foundation as well. I applied to both foundations and degrees from sixth form, and I've got offers from places I didn't even have interviews for last year. Your work will develop so much on a foundation and Universities take you more seriously as applicants. If you can get onto a degree course straight from school now then you could probably get into a much more competitive course after a foundation. I did my foundation at MMU and I think that their foundation is fantastic.

I thought it went really well! (don't want to speak too soon though haha) The student who went in with me said she was impressed, so hopefully she wasn't just trying to be nice hahaha Everyone kept telling me how brutal they are but in mine it really wasn't the case, If anything it was just like having a critical discussion with a tutor! I think after my slade one it couldn't really get any more intimidating aha. They didn't look at my essay which I found really surprising as they had made a point to bring it along.. Thats the one thing thats putting me off Goldsmiths is the amount of written work that goes along with the course, as I don't want it to end up eating into the time I'm actually making the art. I was also surprised they didn't show you round at the end, like they had done for all my other interviews? I looked round last year but was looking forward to having a re cap
As well they don't let you look round accommodation, and the photos online don't exactly sell it haha I do really like Goldsmiths though and the way they have lots of visiting artists and tutorials. It's going to be hard to make a decision If they did give me an offer :-((((((( Is Goldsmiths your first choice ?Quick Reply
