Architecture 2017 Entry!

Just had a quick look at last year's thread and it seems that they tend to start giving offers in late January. One person claims to have had "a verbal offer" "earlier in the month" but that seems unusual. Don't panic until late Feb, I'd say - unless of course there's good news on 12th ;-)

Awesome thanks for checking! And of course all fingers crossed for the 12th for all of our camb applicants here :crossedf:

And some had interviews in November - so maybe they've heard? Or else they're waiting to see what the general standard is before deciding (otherwise a giveaway that offers given early to the best - which might be non-optimal))

Makes sense, yup. (Edit: I meant 28th Dec not Jan haha) Though I have very little hope for UCL, hated the interview ._.

yep, true words man.

I've spent the whole evening and barely made three pages. It feel more torturous than Cambridge (ironically, I used to think of HK as my escape route in case UK goes to **** :laugh:

)

And the brief is very very vague, which makes everything a whole lot harder.
The qualities they want to see in the book just makes the whole thing downright impossible, how does it even show our sociability or our daring nature 😂😂

He kept asking me why I wasn't doing fine art and I tried to explain myself and he just went "don't get defensive I'm not criticising you" there was tension and he just didn't seem convinced that I wanted to do architecture I think I came across as fine art :frown:

When are we expected to hear back from UCL (it's been like 4-5 weeks now when they said in 2 weeks after the 1st Dec)?

Reply 816

Well, like I said before - last year the first offers were in the last week of January, so I reckon that's the best guideline to go on. Just 2 weeks or so...

Things like, I have a habit of saying 'you know' to connect my sentences (not great I know), anyways, I was just talking about a recent architecture firm award and he went 'No I don't know' in the middle of my sentence woo :biggrin:

A couple more weird conversational tensions I dont want to go into detail (so they can't identify me hue).
