Thanks!! I just found out that the skype call will not be the interview, it's only a briefing for the 'in country interview' so I guess there'll be more time to get ready *exhale*
I got panicked easily, didnt read the email carefully lolol.

I applied for BA Fine Art at Chelsea, submitted my UCAS application to CSM but got confirmation email by Chelsea, but no problem, still happy with that

Great!! I heard CSM has a great fashion course. Good luck with your application!

Where are you from? Did you submit your portfolio online or also by mail?

Hi,
ohh...Thats what even I was wondering as to how you got the skype interview request so early.
Yeah the fashion course at csm is the best! I applied directly not through UCAS, Submitted my mini portfolio through flickr and sent the mini portfolio flickr link to them and received the portfolio submission confirmation, now waiting for the full portfolio request from CSM. I am from india, what about you?
All the best for your application :smile:

Hello,

Nope, I submitted my portfolio in a pdf file by email (I put my blog address in the portfolio too), and a week later they asked me to mail my pdf portfolio with all the pictures in it in a form of cd to their asia branch office in Hong Kong. I dont know if only selected applicants get to do the interview or they just do it with everyone, cant find information about this anywhere :/

Hi,
Ohk. I guess it varies from course to course. I had to submit my mini portfolio online through flickr because thats the course requirement.
Anyways, All the best for your applications! :smile:

Hi, good luck for your interview!!!

I just had the briefing and I feel even more scared now, but it was very helpful.
Idk but I have this feeling that the interview will be so intense. :s-smilie:

Did you have a briefing via skype too? The person said to me that we'll get the decision right after we finish with the interview. What course did you apply for?

Thank you! And no I didn't get a briefing so I'm even more nervous cause I have no idea what's gonna happen... Yeah, I read on the website that we get offers on the spot. May I know what else they had told you would go on at the time? I applied for a BA in Fashion Journalism at CSM, how about you?

They suggested me to read and study all the information about the campus and the course, because the interviewer will ask you why you pick CSM and you better have a very good answer that shows that you really understand why (dont give them those sweet answers about how famous the school/program is and blabla).
Don't wear tshirt, short pants, and sandals.
I dont know about the course you applied for, but if you submitted a portfolio, you better bring some works in the portfolio to the interview, only those with small sizes, probably max A2 size.
You have to do a professional presentation on each of your work, explaining the process behind it such as ideas development, experimentations, challenge, etc. Oh and bring your laptop too.

I hope this helps, let me know when you get the offer! :smile:

Hii, I'm from indonesia as well and my interview is going to be on this Friday which I think is going to be the same to you :smile: I had my brief yesterday and the person didn't say anything about giving the offer on the spot. I am applying for Foundation at CSM, do you think it's different because it's not BA? I'm even more nervous now :frown:

I know this wasn't directed at me but you can check these things on the website, here's the link http://www.arts.ac.uk/study-at-ual/international/your-country/indonesia/ :smile: I think all further education courses which does include foundation get on the spot offers so I'm sure you will too! x

Yaaay! What time is your interview? Good luck!! :smile:
I'm not sure about foundation, but she also mentioned about there might be a possibility that the BA applicants get the offer to start from foundation. I think it's a bit easier to get in to foundation, so dont you worry (plus we still have time to prepare). Did you apply to other univs as well?
