Fashion journalism LCF and Csm 2018

Hello,
I sent my application to LCF and CSM for fashion journalism and I was wondering if someone knows how long is the wait before getting a request for the written work. I sent my application a little last minute but I am so stressed and I can't stop thinking about it

Unis have till May to make decisions so you just have to be patient unfortunately.

Hi, I applied for the same course through a direct application and they gave me the written assignment in the application itself. If you're talking about a portfolio, they didn't ask me for one. Hope that helps (I'm so sorry if it didn't)! x

Hi, I applied for Fashion Journalism as well, at CSM, on the 31st of October. They sent me a request for written work on the 29th of November and I have sent it on the 11th of Dec but haven’t heard from them since. Is that a good sign??Also, has any of you received an interview invitation?

Hi, I just received a request for written work for CSM. The e-mail said to log in to the application portal for more information, but I am unable to find where. Would anyone happen to know how to help me? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the photo, I appreciate it! I got the email, but when I log into my portal there is no place to submit the portfolio. So weird, I even gave it a few days to load. I guess I'm going to have to call the office in the morning.

I'm pretty sure they said that in the open day, and normally its about 10 inside the uk and 10 outside the uk

I think I'm misinformed though... maybe its fashion journalism at CSM which is so exclusive, would make sense

Hi everyone I just received an unconditional offer from LCF but I am still waiting on CSM. I have a friend who is on the CSM course which only has a 3% acceptance rate so it may be that they are filtering through applications to decide who to interview. I’m baffled as to why LCF haven’t done interviews this year as far as I’m concerned?
