Oh I understand. But you do know that after receiving an email with portfolio instructions you'll have another week to submit the sheets right? So we have quite some time left fortunately! I'm almost done with all my sheets and I applied just tonight. I included photography, paintings, drawings, a garment, collages and sketchbook/research pages, hope it's enough. What did you put in?

very few it is like a cattle market , they call up over 2000 applicants and accept a small fraction. Best to have also a back up 2nd choice as the majority get rejected.

I could really use some good help and advise with this!!!!
I applied to LCF and CSM for their fashion program within a BA. Womenswear in December of 2017 with all my info and submitted a portfolio about 2weeks or less after. The deadline was on January 15 for the courses, and the crazy thing about it, is that I got an Interview with LCF on the 15th of January. Is that a good sign? I haven’t heard anything from CSM as yet, but the interview with LCF was called a diagnostics interview and went on to discus me taking the foundations course for a year and then moving onto the BA course. Overall the interview went great and they started talking about acceptance and where I would be able to find my letter. I’m in a panic, because I haven’t seen anything through UCAS or my student portal with a letter of acceptance, so I’m trying to figure out if that was an offer or just them saying if I do get an offer, that is where I would find it. PLEASE HELP with any info

ring and ask - usually if an offer is given it shows and you get an email. According to Which Uni LCF has a 30% acceptance rate and CSM 19%.

I have photography and styling work, written work, collages, and some branding work. I'm from France and didn't do anything artsy for the equivalent of A Levels here so I did everything on my own, not sure it's gonna be good enough but I thought there's no harm in trying :wink:

I'm also really interested in fashion communication so my portfolio is definitely more fashion oriented !

Well they have time until the 3 May til the offers for BA, so I wouldn't stress about it yet. I havent heard from back any of my BA applications (not even an Interview) from Central Saint Martins and Univeristy of Westminster, so I think they will wait until they see everyones work and they decide. When you will get an offer I think it will come through your emails too, at least for my friend did.
