Oh, you will hear back from Edinburgh within the next like 10 days then! And Dundee is just so appealing to me, the environment of Dundee is something i really like.

It seems really student oriented, and like a really whole education, I'd love to go there. Yeah Edinburgh are taking their time with me, I've applied to Illustration and the wait is killing me!

Hi there! I applied for Dundee as well. Dundee general foundation and Edinburgh Illustration first year. Then GSA comdes- but I was unsuccessful. Still haven't heard from ECA and was supposed to send my online portfolio to Dundee by 23rd of March. The waiting is killing me.
Does anyone know when DJCAD get back to students usually? I just got rejected from Edinburgh so I really really hope I get this!

Sorry to hear that. Wish you good luck with Dundee. Heard Dundee is an amazing school especially for illustration. But they asked for portfolio quite late and I think there is also a possibility of being invited for an interview, isnt it? Hopefully, it will be ASAP and no interviews! The waiting is nerve-wracking. (sorry if I made a mistake. English is not my first language. :smile: )

Nope. Don't know if it is good or bad... Is an interview like the second round or you don't have to have one and still get an offer?

I believe it says on the website that they only ask for an interview in some cases, when they require additional info. Don't ask me what that might be though. I still haven't heard anything since the portfolio confirmation, and that was March 23.
