Architecture 2017 Entry!

I wonder if they'd respond to a request of how many unprocessed applicants they still have to deal with? I also wonder what the process is - perhaps a daily meeting lasting 45 mins where they can review and accept/reject maybe 100 candidates. So if the backlog is 1,000 then it could be 2 weeks of work just to do the rubber-stamping.

But I agree that once all the interviews are done, they can make decisions on the many marginal cases.

I have a really strong feeling that response rate is determined by the interviewer. Me and someone else I know had ours on the same day and she's still waiting. Whereas I know a guy who was interviewed by the same person as me (but on another day) and he too got a reasonably fast response.

Had my interview on the 6th of February, still haven't had anything yet......

is anyone here firming the bartlett? and is there a bartlett offer holders facebook group? i can't seem to find one

Got offers from Bath, Edinburgh and Loughborough. Applied to Cambridge as well, but got rejected.
Waiting for UCL........
you?

Offer from Strathclyde, rejection from Edinburgh and GSA (tf Scotland?), pooled but eventually rejected from Cambridge(pembroke). Waiting for UCL too. And going insane in the process.

what actually concerned me is that its been clear they haven't read any of my personal statements and even some basic info like country of education...

How many people are they interviewing?! You scan read the personal statement for the key bits of information - like relevant work experience, awareness of architects/ personal experience of contemporary architecture, referees coded comments about lateness or laziness etc. - however the important things in the interview are the applicants portfolio - which demonstrates your creativity, thought processes and skills - and how the individual comes across: are they enthusiastic and informed, or are they arrogant? (i.e. Going to be hard to teach?) I know a lot of emphasis is placed on personal statements by schools, and there may be courses and/or universties where they are given greater emphasis, but they are, at best, only a small part of the application/ interview process for architecture.
