What to do if you don't get in (to art college)

Studying this book will help you to:
1. see the situation objectively
2. reflect on your application process
3. establish your motivations and if you want to re-apply
4. make a positive action plan
5. have the confidence to re-apply if that’s what you want

Pat yourself on the back for applying, creating and presenting your art portfolio and for attending what must seem like quite a daunting task – the art interview.

It might not seem like it now, but it is good experience. Some schools have this thing about ‘there are no losers – everyone’s a winner’ and that’s just not true and you’ll be finding this out for yourself right now. Life is competitive and no-one is going to hand anything to you on a plate just for trying and this is just the beginning.

So in a way, my previous question of what are you going to do is quite important. What ARE you going to do? I didn’t get into art college first time around and I was gutted. Luckily I had very supportive parents and some great tutors who helped me pick up the pieces and have the courage to apply again. After art college I went on to teach and this eBook was written and compiled by a tutor who has interviewed 100’s of students at Edinburgh College of Art.

This short 8 page eBook covers practical advice on what you should do if you want to apply to art college again. I recommend that to get the most out of this eBook that you download it as soon as you hear that you’ve not been accepted at art college.
