Right, just got back from my interview and I come bearing valuable information.

1. Dress code ain't a big deal (dont stress about it! wear what you want)
2. Dont JUST bring drawings/artwork, there's a reason why they mention in the email to bring other creative work. Even if its just a silly matchstick man you made in your room without second thought BRING IT IN. they like to see how you create
3. Don't rehearse your lines too much. The interviewer doesn't want to converse with a script
4. They like messy (apparently). Even if your sketchbooks aren't presentable...doesn't matter BRING IT IN
5. Some people I spoke to after said that their interview felt rushed. Just make sure you have something to stand out with. remember 400 other people have good art skills, you need a new USP
6.Relax

I just got an email from Bartlett to send a portfolio, instead of invitation for the interview. Is this a bad thing? I live in Korea and I sent my task on November. I'm super anxious! Help!

If they want your portfolio it probably means the same as an interview (just less travel I'm guessing)? Lots of people received a rejection after sending the task. The interview is almost entirely about the portfolio anyway.

Has anyone who was interviewed on the 29th November heard back yet?

Its probably because there isnt an interview representative available in your area. Dont stress

I think I remember their website saying that they don't require interviews from overseas applicants, instead requesting portfolios. So you should be fine!
Heyy i got asked to write a personal statement as well but I’m very confused as to where and how to write it? Like do I print the form and write on it with pen on the bottom space available or do I write it online ??? PLEASE HELP!!!!

From what i’ve heard, most of the countries (i’m not quite sure which) in Asia will be invited for an interview at Singapore in February or if UCL’s interviewer goes to a country for a university fair then they’ll call you over.

Yeah, type it below your picture(copy and paste that in...just take a selfie or something). Probably don't go over to a new page though...I called and they said they only wanted you to write in the space given.

Need to submit my 5 A4's by 1st February and I'm dire with watercolours, does anyone know how much of another medium you can include with the prescribed one, because my paintings require a whole biros worth of ink over the top to even decipher what I'm painting.
