Hiya everyone, Im new to this forum. Please help me as much as you can! Im 17 years old, from the UK and Im currently applying for a foundation diploma in art and design. I have longed to get into Central Saint Martins, but they have unfortunately rejected me after my portfolio review. I also applied to Kingston where I had a portfolio review last week. They said that if accepted for interview (the next stage), they will let us know within 7 days of receipt of our portfolio...but its been 6 days already and I feel like Im getting no-where with my applications. Im predicted an A* for Alevel art and scored quite a high A for my AS art. But competition is really high since I applied to some top art unis. The thing is, I don't want to go to some rubbish places because I want the best education. The only route for me left is to go through clearing within the University of Arts London. Please pray for me. I don't know what to do with my future otherwise. I need an university offer this year. Iv been really stressed about uni applications, especially when Central Saint Martins rejected me. It was my dream to get into that uni...but now everything is ruined. Im on the verge of breakdown. I've tried praying myself, I pray every night about it. But God does't seem to have answered my prayers. I trust God, which ever path he gives me, but at the moment, I don't know what to think. Iv been rejected by my dream unis and I don't want to go to a rubbish one since my grades are quite high and I don't want to waste such a high grade. I put all my effort into art and design and its my dream job to become a fashion designer. Im just thinking, does God think its the wrong choice for me to pick this route? Should I not have chosen to study art?
Please pray and let God know that Im really in need of his help and I need an offer through clearing.

Don't worry about it so much, you'll find a place. There's no use fretting about it so much, everything will work out so long as you trust in YHWH. It's hard to relax, sure, but it's not worth worrying so much, besides, life only lasts for somewhere around 80 years, eternity lasts for, well, eternity. Even if you don't get into some top notch art university, there are still many others out there. If YHWH really wants you to go into art, then you'll prevail no matter the university you go to. I mean, I'm truthfully an extremely laid back kid, so I don't stress much. But, when I do, I know it isn't worth the feelings it causes me. I just figure everything will work out on YHWH's time, which sometimes isn't the time frame we wish for. But, patience is a good thing to have, just trust in G-d and you'll get through. Trust me, I've gotten through some rough stuff just relying on Him.
G-d bless. :D

God works in mysterious ways.

I was in somewhat of the same situation last year. When I got my results last summer they weren't quite high enough and all my Uni's rejected me. I was obviously devastated as it had been my plan to go to Uni for years and I didn't know what to do next. In the end I could have to through Clearing and definitely got a place but I felt God telling me to leave it and trust Him. So I had to just give up and say 'God you know whats best for me even though it is hard'.

After not too long I got over the annoyance and I am now on a course that invovles working for my church plus I got a job for the whole year totally out of the blue. God provides. Im not saying you should necessarily do the same thing, but my point is even if everything you plan seems to be going wrong, trust God and it will work out.

:D
