Aww thats so so good! Is it for fine art? And also are you thinking of going there?

Have you had a chance to visit each uni before? In particular have you had a chance to go on an offer holder day as well - these are sometimes a bit more "focused" and also for the students, laid back (as you already have the offer!) and I understand can be a good way to get a better feel for the department, people, etc. So would def recommend seeing if you can do that - also I think visiting in person is probably particularly valuable for creative arts courses so you can see e.g. studio provision, any specialist facilities available that might be relevant to your practice, as well as see what kind of work students there create (and see if you can infer whether the direction of the department aligns with your practice so as to develop you more in the direction you want to go)

Yep it is for fine art! It's my insurance if I flunk the UCL interview.

Hi! I applied to GSA for fine art to enter this year as well, it is my top choice since the facilities look really good and I love Glasgow as a city. I still havent heard back from them with an offer/ interview yet, I was wondering when you got an answer from them, if you have done an interview and how it went? Thanks! Im starting to get really nervous waiting on a decision

hiii! i got the interview at the start of march then i got an offer about a week ago. people i know have just been given invitations in the past day or so dont worry! also the interview was really good as the two people on the call were lovely 😁 if you do hear anything back let me know and im sure everything will be fine!!
