Oh okay, forget about any questions they asked you :P But what did you say about being a doctor anything? I had a women and a man. I think the women was an admissions tutor and the gut was the one who did the open day :smile:


haha, I just don't want to break any rules that's all! well I barely said anything about WHY I wanted to be a doctor, but then I had to explain what I'd do at some points.. I don't want to give too much away, I don't really know how much we can say about the interview, if anybody knows aghh :confused:

So ill just ask did you go into a lot of depth about being a doctor i.e. You told me you didnt say much about why YOU wanted to be a doctor BUT did you say a lo about being a doctor?

no don't worry you're not, I just want to be on the safe side and not say too much...

I'd say about half of the stuff I talked about was about being a doctor, the other half not so much, but still related. Does that help? How about you :smile:?

So...

A pattern about UCAS is that they send out emails about track updates every 15- and 45-past the hour (or maybe every 15 minutes if someone can confirm they've received a track email dead-on the hour or half past).


Ah I got one dead on the hour so it's probably every 15 minutes!

Does anyone else always get 2 emails from track, a few hours apart? They always say the same thing, and are about the same change :s-smilie:

congratulations!

at what time did you receive your email from UCAS?

By "just" you mean you just received the email, or you just opened the email?


I meant I just read it (I had a driving lesson straight after school). I "recieved" the email at 1:45ish :smile:

Thank you! This is exactly what we need to hear right now - I was getting worried that so many people are getting offers how could they possibly have enough for another day!!


he was sure he must have blown it because it looked like everone else had offers before him. he added up how many and it turned out to be around 50 on here but it had seemed like everyone else when he kept reading post after post about offers. He kept saying that since lots of people not on tsr must have offers too, there couldn't be any left. by the end of the 2 weeks he was 100% sure he'd missed his offer. then it came...along with a whole load of offers for other people who had also thought they were going to be rejected. don't give up hope. I know that's easy to say but he got 4 offers in 2 days in the end (all mid-March )

I ended up talking about it in some questions, but not much.
