No portfolio architecture offer from Edinburgh

My UCAS was sent off about two weeks ago and I'd not finished my portfolio yet when a few days ago I received an offer from Edinburgh to study Architecture. Did they make a mistake or was my personal statement really good or?

I think that Edinburgh only asks for a portfolio from students that don't take a creative A level (or equivalent). Congrats on the offer. :biggrin:

I don’t take any art subject too and I am still waiting for an offer. Lucky you! Hope I will hear from them later. Up to now, I haven’t got any offer.

I did but I got a 6 so I assumed they wouldn't consider that as proof of artistic ability but it's possible they did!
