How many get interviewed at CSM?

I have an interview for womenswear on the 12th and I'm very surprised because I didn't think my portfolio was strong AT ALL. Although I'm happy I'm also concerned. how many get interviewed? Is it just standard procedure and am I any closer to getting in at all? Good luck to all you guys x

congrats!! it's definitely big, i've heard from my country's ual representatives that they only interview a very small number of people so as long as you're confident with your work and explain your goals thoroughly in the interview, it should be alright! good luck x

Hi, did you do the UAL foundation? Also I am wondering if they let everyone who they want to interview know at the same time or if they stagger the interviews, I have submitted my portfolio for womenswear but haven’t heard anything yet.

Hello:smile: I'm currently doing a foundation in my country (Denmark). I have no idea about the process, sorry. All I know is that I'm still extremely nervous now that the interview is over because I'll probably have to wait for quite a while for the final outcome

Hi 😊 thank you for your reply, what makes you think you might have to wait, did they indicate that it would be a wait?

She said I would have a result soon but I just feel like “soon” in uni-language is like two weeks. I hope it will be actually soon hahahaha
