I applied for Edinburgh, UCL, Northumbria, Loughborough and Kent. So far I've received offers from Edinburgh, Northumbria and Kent. Interview for Loughborough and UCL. So nervous! Also, just wondering if anybody knows the amount of applicants for UCL this year?

exactly a month ago

I heard that this year the applicants almost doubled from last year...!

Where did you hear that?

Congratz!! Is that the last one for her?

There are around 2000 applicants for UCL this year. That is what they told me at the interview..

Im also applying for k100
For my UCAS personal stament im thinking of mentioning "House by Tracy Kidder"
i have not yet read it but i think ill use it as a transition into how ive develouped my communcation and managment skills
that are important skills for any architect as emphasized in the book

Should i be mentioning this book since i believe even though it does focus on archicture it does involve some fiction so im unusre if i should put it in my personal stament

Definitely do not quote a book that you haven't read! Fiction in a book would not be a problem, but you will get tripped up if you purport to have read something you haven't.

The personal statement is supposed to be about you. It doesn't have to be "clever" - almost certainly whoever is reading it (and the hundreds of other personal statements) will have "heard it all before" if you tell them about playing with lego or wanting to build your own monstrous Trump Tower etc. Just explain simply why you want to study architecture, where you have been or what you have seen that has inspired you (ideally avoiding the architecture applicant bingo, "Gaudi, Ghery, Frank Lloyd Wright, Foster, Hadid HOUSE!". If you have done work experience in an architect's office (or worked on a building site or whatever) then say when and where. If not, then explain how you intend to get work experience before you start. Work experience is not a prerequisite, studying architecture is a distinct thing from working in architecture, but why would anyone take a course without sampling the job they hope to do at the end of it?

Finally! got an interview on 11 April Anyone got it on the same day? Is that the last batch?
btw for that personal statement, should I write it in the form they gave us or use another file?
