Hi all, I've been invited to an interview at RCA in the next few weeks - so terrified. I wondered if anyone below - or others - who had had an interview could let me know how it went/ what kind of questions were asked? I'm going for history of design which is obviously more theoretical than practical like painting, but any interview tips would be good! Many thanks - good luck to anyone else in same position. Annie

Hi! Thanks for the reply - I applied for education, curatorial or publications, but ended up getting media and PR - have you heard anything yet?

Hello, I have recently been offered an internship at the NY Guggenheim. My plan long-term is to apply next year for a Curating MA at either UCL or the Courtauld in London (where I live) - I studied History of Art and English at York Uni, and have now finally decided I would love to pursue a career in museums - but I know both these courses are highly competitive. The internship at the Guggenheim would be amazing (plus living in NY for 3 months would be awesome) but its unpaid and so quite expensive, and its also in the Media and PR dept. not curatorial, so I'm wondering how much weight it would actually carry on my CV, and whether it would be worth it...? I'd learn a lot about the art and be invovled in some great events I'm sure, but would it help my application to a place on a curating course... especially since my field of interest up until now has perhaps been more about decorative and historic arts rather than 20th C and contemporary...(though this could change)... If anybody has any opinions on this I'd be really grateful, as I'm currently very unsure as to what to do! Thank you!

Hello! I just got accepted on the Fall program - anyone else? I live in the UK so now have to apply for a visa and find a place to live - scary (/exciting). Just wondered if anyone else was in the same boat. Haven't been to NY since I was about 8!
