Did anyone who applied to the slade get a scribble on their portfolio label?

what kind of scribble ? hahaalso, what kind of condition did they leave the inside of your portfolio in?


In past years Slade have left a highlighted scribble on people's portfolio labels, idk if it's to be really cryptic but last year everyone with a pink scribble got an interview, and noone with a green one did (on TSR as far as I know). I didn't get a scribble but I noticed someone started a thread with a similar query.

It was pretty good, back to front in perfect order so they must have looked through it chronologically. What about you? :smile:

Mostly in order, but with some stuff in the middle that I liked brought to the top, and my worse stuff at the back
And a sheet scrunched up a bit.....
Everything in my folio was left in the order I had put it in when I collected it... Which at first got me concerned seeing as everyone else's folios (that I know of) had obviously been handled (shuffled about and all that)

it's hard to tell whether it's a good sign. I see it as them making a decision early on and thus not having to scrutinise certain pieces. obvs the decision is a mystery

Yeah I agree it is a mystery & it could have been different people looking through each too

I'm not too sure about that as I remeber chatting to the two girls who were marking everyone in and was joking about my name since it's quite common and they were like nah you're the only one today ! So I don't think it is that, it's probably just to mark who's been seen :smile:

Hi Kt.96,

Unfortunately there are a lot of applications to get through and it depends on the faculty and the admissions tutor. I'm sorry there's not more information I can give you, sit tight we'll get back to you as soon as we can!
