Hi! I also applied for Fashion BA at ECA but haven’t heard anything yet. My tutor said they usually are slow to respond. Let me know if you hear back!

Yes my tutor said the same thing, I’ll let you know if I hear back. Please let me know if you hear too :smile:

Hi, I applied to fashion (BA) thru UCAS for ECA (edinburgh college of art), GSA (glasgow school of art). As their portfolio deadlines have already passed and I've heard people receiving interview invites, I'm starting to get a bit worried. I submitted my portfolio approx. the week before the deadline. Has anyone received any offers from either school? or interview invite?


I’ve applied for ECA for interior design but haven’t heard anything yet. I’m worried hahah

Hi all, I applied to GSA for Games & Virtual Reality. I am an international applicant who did a qualification (similar to US's Associate's degree) in Games & XR and I applied for the 2nd year intake mid Jan. I sent my portfolio on the date of deadline. Got Interview 22 Feb and got an offer approx 10 days later for 2nd year intake. Did even mention in interview if I could be considered for 3rd year, where the head of department even considered but I suppose she found me a better fit for Y2. Still waiting for ECA product design & UCL (both are notoriously slow I heard!). Hope this helps anyone! - Adding on, my grades is equivalent to UK A Levels A*AA

I've had an offer back without an interview at GSA (architecture), and have a friend that did an interview with them 2 weeks ago now, maybe reach out to them and see if they have your application / portfolio on file

Hi! I've received an offer from GSA (I had to do an interview) but nothing from Edinburgh yet - I've heard they're notoriously slow to give offers. My friend has applied to a similar course to you and has also heard nothing back yet. I think that Edinburgh doesn't do interviews any more (at least for some of the subjects, such as Fine Art). Good luck!!

Hiya,
I just had an interview yesterday and I think I messed it up.. So I am a bit down at the moment hoping I won't be kept in the uncertainty for too long-even if rejection. How long did it take for you to hear from them about the interview result? I just want to move on..

Hi! Sorry to hear you didn't feel the interview went well - although I'm sure they'll understand if it was nerves. Also, just getting to the interview stage is a big step so don't give up on it yet! Personally I heard back the day after my interview, however a friend of mine had their interview a week or so ago, and still hasn't heard back so I think it really varies. Good luck!
