We all remember our interview at Chelsea, and the fact we obviously had something that our interviewers liked (Nigel and Frank are probably regretting their decision in my case!!); but what about the ones we fail? I remember trotting along to LCC, and i wasn't interviewed, we were all just asked to leave our stuff there whilst they went through it all; it was only a couple of days later that i recieved a rejection. How are students (and their teachers) supposed to know where they went wrong portfolio wise if they don't recieve any feedback? Obviously an interviewer can't be expected to personally write and tell hundreds of students why, so what about a pre printed slip that is ticked (against the faults) and given to the student to pass onto their teacher. If a teacher on a certain foundation course got an awful lot of these slips (and lots of unhappy students) something might change. Ok, it's a bit naughty, (and maybe in bad taste?) but at least the teacher would know for next time...

Hi Christine
I think you hit a really good note with the work you have been doing, it's something we all remember well but due to the fact we made it on our course of choice maybe we dont aknowledge the fact it keeps happening at interviews. The thing I find really interesting here is that it raises the point 'what an earth are we taught in fountation. GNVQ etc... anyway?' They are all about experientation but do they don't give graphics a realistic voice as they are overshadowed by all the things you have mentioned and there seems no insight to what directions you can go in. Ive always thought 'taster' courses are a really good idea as well.
Probably not that helpful to you but Im very much with you on this!
ps
Ive added you to the links.

Cheers for that Aimee, was wondering how to add it, but you've saved me the job! How's your Glasto stuff going?
