Architecture Applicants for 2012 entry (& Offers - for when they're given!)

Does anyone know how strict Westminster and UCL are with entry requirements? I'm pretty sure I won't get into UCL but I applied anyway because I had an option spare and there was nowhere else I wanted to go and well, you never know :biggrin:

But yeah, they both want AAB and I'm predicted AAC.. I explained in my PS why I screwed up in AS Art and I've learned why and I'm improving blah blah, but will they even read my PS, or just straight up reject me? Merci!

Has anyone heard anything from Bath?... do they even make offers for architecture before the January 15th deadline?

I doubt they care very much. I specifically remember Westminster saying at the open day that they care most about portfolio, then PS, and finally grades :smile:

Good news for all us Cambridge applicants! There's been 17.1% drop in architecture applicants compared to last year.

that's because who has just a little bit of brain doesn't want to be an architect! This means I have no brain at all...and if I break up with my boyfriend applying for engeneering and marry another architect, I will be starving!

Anyway, I applied to Trinity...anyone else?

I knoww, I fell in love with it! Main reason I'm applying and the course, of course :colondollar:

Yes, the only problem. But if I get in I'll do part 3 externally. Or they might have it by the time we graduate :biggrin:

Ahh, did you go to the open day? Ive only stalked the Kent uni website and watched all the videos about the uni! :P and thats true.. hopefully by the time we get to that stage :smile:

Wondering if anyone would recommend me my final application :colondollar:

I've applied to
Cambridge A*AA
Nottingham AAA
Kent AAB
Edinburgh AAA-BBB :confused:

But I still have one more and I really don't know where.
I'm not keen on Sheffield, Bath, Cardiff, Manchester and Newcastle :colondollar:

and I love green campuses, I don't mind if it's a art based course or not because I love both aspects.

Hoping for it to be about ABB-BBB for grades or points.

Can anyone think of any gems I have yet to uncover? :biggrin:

Thank You!

Hi Im an international stu. and ive chosen Sheffield, Cardiff, Oxford Brookes, Edinburgh and Kent.
Want to know if the application should be sent asap because of the task deadlines or its still fine if i send it in January?
Thanks!

Good choices :smile:

send off you application as soon as it's finished, because if you wait until january there'll be less spaces for us lot, and architecture is a very competitive course! If you send it in jan you'll get a different deadline to those who applied earlier, dont worry you should still get the same amount of time as others to do the tasks etc :smile:

Huddersfield ask for 320 points but ive not seen the uni, just the prospectus. It was one the first one i got so that might be why its stuck in my head as a hidden gem...I think plymouth ask for 300 ish points as well, look into them if they appeal to you :smile:

Greenwich are 300 points and some tutors used to teach at the Bartlett, however obviously isn't a green campus... I was going to say Westminster too but I think they were AAB and again its in London.
