    how hard is it to get by the interview for the courses? are many people rejected? i applied for some film courses but i dont have too much done that i could put into the portfolio.. i want to go there to learn how to do it so i cant see why i would have a massive portfolio already.. looks like a great college

    there are four thousand people interviewing for the college this year,double on last year,they are also cutting the amount of rounds there is to get in,so spaces are fairly tight,id be well prepared for your interview

    I had mine there today, very straight forward. They ask what programs and tools i was proficient with. Dont lie cause they'll ask questions. Very happy with how mine went, hopefully i get a spot.

    I had 2 interviews on monday. radio 1 year and AMD portfolio prep course.
    Radio went really badly, i couldnt get my words out at all, I'll be surprised if i get a place.
    AMD i want to say went well, they said my portfolio showed good personality and i had a good eye and background in art. I dont know if they were just being nice and sugar coating it all. I pray i get in to art

    I had an interview for ADS on Tuesday, went pretty well, they as much as told me I had the place.
    Is it supposed to be easy enough to get into?

    Heyis,
    going for the two year journalism course, and thinking about the travel & tourism course. I'd really prefer the journalism one though, if they ask you whether you've applied to another course, are they kinda like "well feck ye" basically? cos i don't wana lie or anything. already had an interview for the journalism foundation course but they told me to try the 2yr one instead.

    cheers

    ah dont be nervous!i know three people who applied to get in and none of them have heard anything yet,im assuming letters will be gotten next week,the college is not so good on being organised so i assume thats why no one has had a call
