Hii congratulations! I’ve applied for visual communication. What college is your course at in UAL and did you have an interview ? I’m waiting on RCA as well. Their website says 20th Jan onwards offers should roll out.

I applied for the MA Industrial Design @ CSM and submitted my portfolio on the 8th Jan right at the deadline so I’m sure they’re just taking time! :smile:

Hello! I’ve also applied to the RCA and submitted my application in round 1 but just two days before the deadline oops 🙊 however, I’ve logged into my application portal and clicked track my application and the status says ‘Application closed’. Is anyone else getting that as well?

A lot of people are. Check the RCA applicants 2025 thread. There’s explanations there and it’s not a rejection.

Has anyone heard back from UAL? Submitted my application to Chelsea last month, but haven't heard back yet.

Applied for MA service design right before the deadlines and received offers from both in Jan.
But for UAL, it was an email from the department (not admission). They said the official offer letter from Admission team will take longer to arrive, approx. end of Feb - early Mar.

Is it possible to pay the deposit amount for two colleges (ual and rca)? Then depending on the scholarship received, deciding on one college.......

Because without paying the deposit,it is not possible to apply for scholarships, and there is no guarantee whether I'll get the scholarship or not
