results of interviews for the diploma of visual arts: RMIT - given that the woman examining us wouldn't even utter a hello when we introduced ourselves and their conveyor belt attitude to the whole operation of selecting students, we're not too keen. we get the feeling it's mutual.

NMIT preston campus - after the train ride there and back (over an hour each way), not too keen. interview procedure - "look just show us one thing, anything...yep, that's fine, you're in...got $70?". it was a nice boost to the ego after the bashing we had beforehand. the guy interviewing was real keen on showing us their computing lab after seeing we'd bought the lappie in..first time we've drooled due to the presence of computers, but it was a whole room just chockers with white g4's and those lovely studio screens. mmmm....

CAE - this is the one, methinks. points in their favour - they like, read and remember the stuff that you whack on your carefully thought out application. they love mature age students. they love mature age students that have already done courses with them even more. it's in the middle of the city (degraves coffee! alright!), and the teachers appear genuinely full of beans and enthusiasm. we like that. lots. please, please, please let us in.
