I have submitted an application for UCL and received an portfolio requirement due by the end of October which is quite unexpected. I thought it should be due by December or next Jan or Feb.

For people applying to architecture at UCL, did you guys get a task to do? I received the interview invitation but did not receive any UCL task along with it.

There isn't one deadline for all applicants. When you apply to UCL, if they want to see your portfolio you will be sent a portfolio request with your own submission deadline. :smile:

No. As long as you apply by the equal consideration deadline (31 Jan 24), all applications will be given equal consideration. :smile:

Hi! Just wondering about Edinburgh because I haven’t heard anything from them yet, have they asked for a portfolio already? They haven’t sent me anything other than the portal login instructions and I assumed it’s because Scotland applications are usually processed later on.
