applied for ual courses

hi guys i have a question!! i applied to three of the fashion courses at ual, 2 lcf courses and 1 csm course. but i’ve only received an email for 1 one of the lcf courses requesting an email. does this mean anything bad or could it be bc the courses are so popular that they haven’t looked at/recieved my application?? pls help!!

i’m womenswear too and they’re probably all being dealt with by different people. it’s all so scary especially when you’re worriers like us! however i’ve never heard of them denying people before the portfolio stage. good luck to you as well xx

oh shoot i didn’t realise they were different deadlines! i’m not entirely sure then for womenswear as that might be for bespoke tailoring instead (my friends top course). hopefully most emails for the portfolio are going out this week, let me know when you receive yours :smile:

oh thank you so much! how long after your submission did you receive an email for the portfolio? to be fair my application confirmation email took a few days too so it might just be a case that whoever’s dealing with our applications is taking a little longer than others.

foundation isn’t required, but it will highly benefit you, since foundation courses give you more skill and experience which is something ual look for!!
