I think so nicole, quite a few people still haven't heard and I think most are undergrads so I wouldn't panic.

Mine is in the afternoon too, are there actually any morning sessions?

Nicole, I'm in your boat too. Undergraduate, and no interview. Sucks, doesn't it?

Nicole, I'm undergrad - currently studying pre-vet med in Canada...which is half a degree, so I'm suppose I'm sort of a unpos-grad?! :biggrin:

So what do you where to the nottingham interview because its got to be reasonably smart for the formal interview but casual enough to do the practicle part.
So that kinda rules out heels!
Any of the notts people that helped at the earlier interview could you possibly tell me what everybody else wore and what would be an idea of something practical to wear!

Thanks

I dont own any flat shoes except my trainers and rugby boots lol so i think i might have to go shopping!!
Sarah you say smart trousers does that mean black or brown i realy have nothing ion my wardrobe that i could even mix and match to get an outfit thats both smart yet casual enough for it to be practicle!!! (is it just be or does the spelling of practicle look wrong!?)

Any colours are fine as long as its not too in your face. Best thing is smart but comfortable. And flat shoes are good cos its a long afternoon/morning but heels may be ok if you dont mind standing in them.

is it a good idea to wear something like a bright pink shirt to make you stand out from the others, and make them remember you?

Do you think I need to have short sleeves?! just for the practical or something? I think I'm just going to wear what I wore to my other interviews which was black trousers, black flats, shirt and pink v-neck jumper.

Anything is fine so long as its semi smart, and make sure is comfy!!! And dont worry about the practicals, lab coats are provided to protect clothes!

I wore smart trousers, white shirt, black tank top and black flats and then a matching belt and neck scarf for a bit of...I dunno, just cos I like to co-ordinate like that.
