Just had an offer for Interview today. They sent me a form to fill up (along with a portfolio link), no specific percentage of work/academic portfolio though

Thank you for your reply. I also took the interview two weeks ago and have not received a reply yet. They promised to respond within 2 months…

Hey! I had the interview also last Friday, and I was told that they'd wait till all interviews would be conducted to send out offers... so not long to go till that comes as the deadline is in 3 days (26th) ... the interview turnover time has been usually 1-2 weeks (mine and my peers' experience).. so i anticipate they'll take a month for offers right?

How did your interview go and who did you have if you don't mind me asking :smile:

If you dont mind me asking, when did you all apply to the program? How long did they take to send portfolio request and interview request mails?

Oh that's good to know...I actually applied to the Bio ID M Arch program on the 14th of Feb...my references reached them by the 19th...I still haven't received any communication from them...I assume I should wait for another two weeks to expect a portfolio request?

you'll get it just be patient :smile:

they're gonna be especially busy during this time as we approach the deadline, and the bartlett has received more applications this year than ever before. I hear around 10k (not sure if thats just for MArch..)!

Hello, I am from HK. I have submitted my application in late January and my references reached them by 26th Jan. However, until now I haven't received my request for Portfolio submission while I heard from my friends who studied in UK before already had their portfolio submitted even they applied it later than me.On the other hand, my HK friends all submitted earlier than me and they have received their portfolio request.I am so worried, I only received an email on 3/2 saying they are busy and I need to wait.

Hey！Thank you for your information. I think we might have to wait for at least for a month. I had the interview at late January when i was told they had received already one thousand applications for this program. As i know, they had one thousand applicants last year. So i think the applications they have this year might be around 2000 by 26th Feb which will definitely take a rather long time for interviews. I was told to get a reply from 1 week to 2 months. I think they should have a Marking sheet including different aspects. I expect to hear from them by April as bartlett is very slow this year. Good luck and keep uplated! Hope we all get the places.

I have all references uploaded at 27/12 and it takes roughly one week for the portfolio and interview.

Have you checked the portal? Cuz I hadn't received any mail from them confirming the receipt of my application, but in the portal under the communications tab, it was updated that they had sent a mail right after my submission. Maybe something like that happened with the communication regarding your portfolio submission?

Hey! I think in your case, you could send a gentle reminder for portfolio.'

good to know... I heard from a friend that 8,000 people applied.. which was a ludicrous amount! 2000 seems way more realistic.. yes! im a bit worried though because I do have other schools to consider replying to regarding offers so I hope they don't take longer than april as you say. Surely they will consider that we have other offers to consider.

Where else did everyone apply to?
