I'm sure you'll be okay. Stay positive; many people apply, and it takes time to get through to everybody. Give it a couple more weeks, and if anything, you can contact the university via email. And yes, I'm a home student. How about yourself? and thank you!!
Thank you so much. just saw someone else who applied end of Jan that got an interview too so made me worried. I’m international. Yeah I did and they said they hadn’t looked at my application yet so hopefully I might still have a chance. Also for interview I saw people saying to have fashion journalist you admire and be able to talk about your pebblepad entry x

they asked why did I want to do FJ at CSM, and a for journalist I admired. And then also for a publication I enjoyed or would like to work for. Just don’t say vogue. I wrote a ton of notes somewhere but didn’t end up using them lol.

I think they’re interested in talking to people with a distinct identity - this helps you stand out. In my interview I talked a lot about fashion as a cultural commodity and linked that to Vanessa Friedman. I quoted her which was a bit gauche but worked. And then also said I was interested in newspaper work. I think really it helps if all your answers are somewhat interconnected! So if you’re interested in music, make that clear. Same for art, haute couture, pop culture, anything. Have a point of view. DM me if you have any more questions!

Okay, that doesn’t seem too bad. I’ve been planning notes all day, and I’ve prepared for all the above. My inspiration is also Vanessa Friedman, which I’m excited to talk about. How were the lectures?

My first impression was it went well but I get what u mean I felt waffly due to nerves. Now after a couple days I’m overthinking it more but first impressions were good. I prepped for a lot more so felt I didn’t say everything I wanted to as was only quick, what did you say in yours?
