question: does anyone know when on average edinburgh/UCL/warwick tend to send out offers? not to be annoying bc obviously am very lucky to have a st andrews offer (although i am slightly confused as someone told me they take forever) but I’m just curious about when people usually hear back from the others!

if you’re talking about oxford i think they really like extrapolating and asking about more general ideas based on what you talk about in your PS and/or written work. so you would need other examples of works/exhibitions to justify your claims etc. also pretty sure there is a visual comparison they for one of the interviews.

the Courtlaud won't reply until January, I asked on the open day
For Cambridge Interviews just think of it like a conversation, they're not trying to trick you, just display your love for art with useful insights and visual analysis
Has anyone sat the Cambridge HoAAA?

Which two pairs did you choose? I picked the two pairs of paintings! They were more well known than I had expected : )

I chose the first pair and the last pair. I too was a bit shocked at the choices to be honest, you could tell the tripos has changed.

Wow! They are very challenging! That’s why I did not choose the fist and the last pairs haha.
Probably bc I feel more comfortable doing paintings than other media
Has anybody applied for history of art at St.Johns College Cambridge?
Original post by iohara2005
I had my Cambridge interview for history of art today! Has anyone else completed there’s yet?
I have completed the first one. I have no idea why they didn’t ask me more challenging questions whether that’s because they ran out of time or they thought I was unfit to answer them. How do you feel about your interview?

course- history of art
universities- oxford (lincoln), edinburgh, courtauld, glasgow, ucl
a levels- 3A* plus my epq which i was never given a predicted grade for (??!)
gcses- 99999988887
i’m a uk student, state educated but not eligible for contextual offers. so far i’ve had an offer from glasgow and done my interview for oxford. i’m expecting to get rejected from oxford so edinburgh is realistically my first choice- is anyone else planning on attending edinburgh to study hoa? also interested if anyone else applied specifically to lincoln college oxford, and if so did you get an interview/how did it go?

What shocked you? In what way do you believe the HoA tripos has changed?

what shocked me was the amount of well known artists used. I expected more niche stuff I guess. I don't really know though
what I mean by the tripos has changed is that I know its undergone changes and you can see that, as they changed the interview process a bit and gave context to each images. The department told me the tripos is changing when I was at my summer school!
