Should I accept my offer at LCF or wait another year and apply for CSM again?

Hi, I’ve been accepted in London college of fashion for MA menswear design and technology. I had also applied for CSM for the same course but was rejected. CSM was my first choice and I’m seeing negative feedback about LCF, and the fact that they don’t participate in graduate show either. I’m worried it’ll affect my final work from getting enough exposure. Should I prepare better work and apply for CSM again in November for year 25/26 or accept my LCF offer for year 24/25? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hey! It's been a while since you posted this. May I ask what you've decided? Imo if CSM is your goal and you don't mind putting in another year then go for it. It's an extremely competitive course and it's perfectly normal to attempt multiple times. On the other hand, if you have decided to go ahead with LCF, that's not a bad choice at all. LCF is known for its technical approach and menswear/tailoring is pretty technical so if that's what you're looking for then maybe LCF is the place for you. And LCF MA does get exposure in 1granary I've noticed. I also believe that after a point it depends upon your own talent and passion. There are so many CSM graduates that get coverage from the graduation show and then disappear off your radar. So not everybody that goes there makes it. Good luck! I wish you the best :smile:
