I think they look at them as they get them but all offers are sent out by departments - doesn't really matter when you send it as you'll hear at the same time as everyone else in your course

Hey guys, how are you? I'm so stressed out! My interview for GSA is on 4th March.
Hopefully, we'll know something a month from now! I've read that last year most people got their replies by 23.03.

In the Guardian ranking it's the best uni for design.

They are focused on the impact of design on the society and the interaction with the audience. You choose your specialization in the 3rd year (if I remembered right) and you get a diploma which allows you to work in more than one branch of design.

I got my offer few weeks ago and I'm becoming more and more positive about it :smile:

Congrats on your offer!!!! So this is the BA Design course at goldsmiths? Yep does sound interesting considering most courses are very specialised within a field and goldsmiths tries to focus on methodology, process instead.

Thanks! Yes it is, I love the idea behind the course and the interdisciplinary approach. I am just finishing highschool this year and I think that it would be nice to have so more time just to experiment with design as a whole. My offer is 33 IB points, may not be as easy as it seems.
Yet, ECA is still my first choice, however I love GSA also

I love the city and the prestige of ECA, what gives me the hope to find a job after college. The course is also great, as it is somewhere in between traditional and digital art (at least I've heard so).
And ofc I prefer Scotland because studying there is not 9.250£ a year XD
