I'm currently in my gap year and I'm planning on going to Ravensbourne University next year and will be studying Character Design and Concept art (confirmed unconditional offer for the gap year already). If anyone else is going to Ravensbourne and wants to talk that'd be really cool :smile:

I'm looking to make friends ahead of time, possibly meet people who want to do things like media, animation, Illustration, fashion, etc. And also possibly talk to anyone with plans to move into accomodation with Ravensbourne since I'd rather know who I'm going to be living with/near ahead of time‼️

I like anime, manga/manwha, skating, games, sports, music, AND YEAH, sorry for the yap, hopefully this reaches people :3

Hey everyone!

How are you all feeling? Is anyone applying for any courses with an early deadline (October 15th)? It’s a week to go, so just wanted to check in and see how you're feeling 😄

If you need some help with your personal statement, we have a whole forum dedicated to your questions (just don't post any part of your statement!), and some example statements in our PS library.

What are your main questions?

If you're not applying early, have you started looking around at booking any open days yet? If so, how are they going? Have you visited Ravensbourne yet?

Good luck everyone :woo:

Hey

Since then I've been Considering going to Leeds Art uni instead actually but the application process basically just involves sending over a portfolio and if they like it but maybe want something additional, they'll tell you and give you a deadline. From what I know the acceptance rates are pretty good and they seem to value portfolio over grades if thats a worry of yours. Of course good grades make a big difference but they care a lot about what you can actually do.
Hope that helps :smile:
