Both Leeanne and myself were working on Friday and Saturday on the Advisory day and the Portfolio Day. It was really nice to meet so many who are interested in the school and thinking about applying.
For those of you who were not there we have a new Applicant Advisory Day and Portfolio Drop-In scheduled in February for route B applicants (look at the above link for more info).
On Advisory Day we start with tea and coffee, before lectures giving an introduction to the school and what it is like to study here. Then we take you all on a campus tour to give you an opportunity to see the studios, workshops and get a little bit more of a feel for what it is like here. After lunch it is possible to visit and talk to the lecturers in the department you are more interested in. At the end of the day there is a lecture on how to apply, with particular focus on putting together a portfolio.
This is a good opportunity to see the school and get a little bit of a feel for what it might be like to study here.
A lot of applicants are worried about their portfolios. On the Saturday following the Applicant Advisory Day we have a Portfolio Drop-In. We display examples of portfolios which led the applicant to be given an offer to study at GSA. This is a good opportunity to see how other people have organized their portfolios. In addition you can sit down with a lecturer for a one-to-one session, looking at your work and your folio and being given direct feedback on it. This is quite informal and is a very good opportunity for those who have questions about how to do their folios for the application.
If you have any questions about these days please email us.
