I'm an international student in year 11 whose dream is to go to CSM and im planning to apply for 2027, but i've been so anxious lately about my chances of getting in without the foundation year. Is it even possible? Ive heard a good portion of the students make up the ones who did foundation
I can afford the BA tuition and living if i get into csm, but I wouldn't want to have to pay an additional year for foundation and im not fond about doing a gap year
it it possible to get into csm (specifically womenswear or print) without the foundation year?
any tips on what they're looking for in a portfolio in particular and what to focus on?
