My application was processed on the 4th October, and I only just received an acknowledgement :dontknow:

Maybe it is because they are from induvidual departments so it takes longer? Whereas my ones from others were from the whole undergrad admissions dept?

Leeds usually ask for an interview (for any subject) before making an offer, or at least thats what they said at the open day...

Slightly regretting putting down Leeds since they interview. At the time I thought that would be fine but now it seems like a hell of a lot of effort and stress for my insurance :eek:

OP what are you including in your portfolio?

Another Graphic design student! :biggrin:

At the GD+T they said they don't look at portfolios because of time constraints. Which is lucky really, I only have some product design and a little bit of web design so far.... I'm taking a foundation course before hand though. What have you got in yours?

I applied to Leeds last year for English with something historical aha, they didnt ask me for an interview, and many of my friends have gone to Leeds this year for a variety of subjects and none of them said anything about interviews :smile:

So unless they have suddenly changed for 2012....I don't know, I hope not since I have completely changed what course I am applying for :')
