Well that is a good sign, if you already finished the UCL interview! Great achievement and well done, Congratulations and good luck for the final outcome. I’m still waiting for acceptance for interview scheduling or rejection as I have submitted the portfolio end of Oct’25.

Does anyone know if the Bartlett, and architecture uni's in general continue to give out interviews and offers over the Christmas period. I submitted my portfolio on the 27th November and I'm unsure whether to expect any news on December.

UCL closes at 5:30pm on Tuesday 23 December 2025 and reopens 9:00am on Monday 5 January 2026. Other unis are likely to have a similar break.

Im about to submit my ucas for uni of Manchester, Cardiff, UAL, Westminister and either UCL or Nottingham. I am predicted A*AA with an A* EPQ. A-levels are textile art, biology and chemistry. GCSEs are 9988777776. Work experience placement. Are these stats strong enough for these unis? If so, is Uni of Edinburgh a stretch?

University of Cardiff hasn't asked for my portfolio yet? Has anyone else applied there?

Your stats are very strong. My daughter has the same predicted grades and very similar GCSE grades to you 9888877776. She's had interview invites from Cambridge and UCL, also have offers from Nottingham and Leeds. So you're fine. Just focus on your portfolio and a good personal statement

Hi, is your daughter a UK applicant or International applicant? Congrats on the interview invites and on the offers.

its been almost 10 weeks since i submitted my portfolio- i haven't heard back about being accepted/rejected for an interview at the bartlett. ive submitted a question form checking in on their website but just wondering if anyone knows what this means? im concerned this might mean rejection, but i feel like my application was strong enough to get an interview at least? i got an interview for Cambridge and while i know they take different percentages of applicants for interviews, i feel like it is a slightly similar criteria. Can anyone offer any insight? im getting a bit worried so anything would be appreciated
