I'm from England, I've only applied to CSM. I haven't got many pictures of my work but here's an installation piece about post-war domesticity, I included it in my portfolio: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMpI87nDjf_/?taken-by=bxvxrly
Here is another piece (a collage) I did about female objectification: https://www.instagram.com/p/BLL9clMD71t/?taken-by=bxvxrly

Heres my portfolio I submitted for CSM :smile: I applied to the fashion & textiles pathway. https://www.flickr.com/photos/147454687@N08/albums/72157676295078274

I've decided not to go to CSM even if I get in as I've accepted my offer to Parsons in New York! I think i might apply for postgrad at CSM though still want to go to this amazing school!

Good luck everyone for this course!!!


congrats !!!!

my best friend also has been accepted at Parsons
it seems so good for fashion !!!

Great Portfolio !

When I went to the open day in December and review back in February they said they're accepting roughly half and half - around 255 applicants from UK and 250 from EU/Abroad!... do you not have a back up option?:/

Ahh I see, I guess we'll only really know if we get in... so much uncertainty about everything haha!! That's fair enough, fingers crossed they're right and good luck too:smile:)) Where will you go if not? I've got a place at Leeds College of Art... struggling to decide between LCA or CSM!?

Literally don't know cause CSM is my first and last and only choice for uni..

As i'm not uk and my english level is not so good for attending a BA I'll probably move somewhere and I'll stay there for reaching an english level as a BA requires me..

My second options could be for a BA Goldsmiths, CSM, UCL, Pratt Institute


Lucky you that you can make a choice anyway.. which pathway have u applied for at csm ?
if you want we can share our portfolios to each other in this morning and stressful passage of time haha
anyone heard back from csm about their foundation application? had my portfolio review 3 weeks ago and not heard anything

oh okay thats reassuring, I was under the impression it would be 31st of march would be the absolute latest... and by that point it would probably be a rejection? Don't know if I'm just stressing myself out over nothing or not! Are you a UK student?
i'm in the same situation... my mood is
stress and anxiety because of that


i just want 31st arrives soon... and of course don't see written REJECTION

fine art specialist, how about you?
I am a UK student too, I applied for the fashion and textiles pathway and honestly I have so much anxiety waiting to hear about the interviews. CSM is the uni of my dreams so im still hopeful but the stress is so overwhelming
Ah right, thanks so much. & yeah same here I'm ******** bricks, St Martins is the only one I like. Good luck everyone! <3
i'm stalking this thread for next year's entry, but i gotta ask: is foundation acceptance based solely on an online 30-page portfolio, or is there that and then a full portfolio review? if it's the latter, is the review that insanely harsh one where you just drop your folder off and then come back for it later, or is it a proper interview?

i'm getting things confused because i'm reading sources from all over the past few years so i'm not sure what their system's currently like. good luck to all who have applied!

I think its quite situation dependant on whether you have the resources to visit the campus for the portfolio review. For me i was abke to go so I had to drop my portfolio off and pick it up later that day. But if you cant make it then i think you send it to them online, I dont think its both. Hope this helps :smile:
