Original post by Emma2898Hey,
I'm fine thank you, you?
The unis I applied for last year was Nottingham, Brighton, Sheffield Hallam, Hertfordshire and Huddersfield. And the uni's I've been searching for maybe applying to this year once I've booked open days with them is maybe: Manchester Met, Teeside, UEA, Bournemouth, Coventry or Northumbria. As they seem quite good for physio.
And yeah I might try and do some volunteering in a local NHS hospital. But luckily earlier on this year I managed to arrange a day of work experience/ shadowing 6 of the physiotherapy departments at one of my nearby NHS hospitals such as elderly, cardiorespiratory and neurology which was a very valuable experience. And volunteer wise, I am volunteering at Headway which helps patients recovering from brain injury. And hopefully mid October I may be volunteering as a ward assistant at one of Sue Ryder's hospices. Depending on my time I might try and volunteer once a week at a nearby NHS as they do a 15 week volunteer placement, but it all depends because of my work hours.
And based on university feedback from my unsuccessful uni's they either gave me no answer or a very basic/ generic short reason as to why I didn't get an offer. Do you think it would be appropriate and okay to email them and ask why I didn't get in? As they may still have me on their records do you reckon? As that would be a great way to improve on myself from my interviews last time.
So were you in a similar position as me you mentioned when you applied for uni, after getting so close to going?
