UCL Slade interview?
Hi guys, I'm applying to Slade's BA Fine Art program. Since I submitted my portfolio in Feb, I am wondering how long it takes to receive an interview invitation? Also if you are planning to major in fine art, feel free to chat.☺️

Hello !! I'm also applying to Slade's BA program this year. Their interviews take place from the 17th-28th of march so i assume if we don't hear back before the 10th of march we were rejected. I was going through another discussion from last year's group and a few on them said they got an interview invitation around the 28th of February ?? It's honestly my 1st choice but if i get accepted into the UAL foundation I can just reapply next year if I get rejected so I'm not super anxious about it but definitely hoping for the best

Hi there! Thank you for your reply, it is really helpful!❤️ Slade is also my first choice right now! However, if I don’t get in, I’ll consider whether to go to Chelsea or Goldsmiths. UAL’s reputation is kind of controversial lately, so I’m not sure where to go. Anyway, I wish us both good luck! 🍀

I also signed up for UAL Chelsea but it honestly isn't my main choice, purely because I enjoy attending larger places for education instead 😭 yea UAL has a questionable reputation and Slade feels quite secretive honestly, I feel like compared to other unis in London their students don't present their opinions about it online as much, I've literally deep searched and found max 3 people who go there. I equally wish us both luck in getting accepted 🍀

Exactly! Slade is more secretive compared to other art unis.😂 The idea of taking additional courses at UCL in the second year sounds fascinating, and I think that’s part of why I want to go there.🤔 UAL is good but all we can meet is art students, Since Slade is part of UCL, maybe it will be a bit more inclusive in a certain way? I’ll staring at my Outlook waiting for updates...

Yea Slade is my first choice purely because we can take an additional course and the fact it's a multidisciplinary uni 😭😭 I honestly think I like meeting people who do other subjects instead of just creative ones so would prefer somewhere like Slade or goldsmiths more. I didn't sign up to goldsmiths because they require an art foundation year, which I don't have but have signed up for this year. Hoping Slade or foundation accept me so bad honestly

ME TOO!😃 Honestly, many of my friends are majoring in non art related subjects, that's why I assume I would adapt more easily to universities like UCL. Yeah Goldsmiths required a foundation year, which I do not have, but I still applied, and they adjusted my application to the BA Fine Art (Extension). The interviewers were nice, and I believe it is a brilliant place to study.

That's amazing, it's great to know others are applying to the same places as me. I was honestly so clueless while making my portfolio as there's a lack of examples online but I hope we both get in. I'm quiet scared I won't get an interview email this week or the next as that pretty much settles a rejection. I just have Slade and UAL foundation to get back to me, the rest have either given me an interview or an offer lmao

Was it fine art? I don’t understand how that’s possible when ucas deadline was 29th January?

They would only be sending invitations for interviews at this point I think. From what I gathered they do two sets of interviews, one in early/mid March and one in late March, and it seems like most people get their invites about a week in advance. So if you haven’t been formally rejected you’re still in the mix

I think we still have the whole first week of march before we start getting hopeless, I have heard the interviews are week commencing 17th , given they provide one week to prepare for the interviews, we still have the next week before things get scary
