I'm applying to Roehampton and Kingston for PGCE Primary!

Just copied and pasted my PS into GTTR to find it's 12 lines over...even though in Word 2007 it's 47 lines. I'm gutted!

Applying for PGDE History at Glasgow.

Also, glad to see that I'm not the only one confused by the topics thing; I went with History 50%, Creative Writing 50%...

I went for 50%/50% in the end but i'm sure it doesn't matter and just depends on preference

I did one module in the politics department in my first year, so I put 95% History and 5% politics. This was the best way to deal with it according to my understanding of the instructions at any rate.

Wellll my boyfriend and I probably spent the total of 5 hours trying to edit it, it was torture! I literally had to re-word everything to fit it in and had to cut good bits out. The relief when you send it off feels great though!

I've just given mine the final tweak. My mum's going to check it for any typos tomorrow and then it's going to be sent off and I can begin to worry about the outcome.

Am I right in thinking that we won't be hearing anything from providers until after 1st December then?

I think we can have interviews as early as October, for Primary anyway.

Ahh it's so nervewracking, good luck to everyone on here!

Ahhh cool But no decisions will be made until the deadline? As in, it's not on a first come, first served basis? Not that I'm too worried, I feel pretty confident about cracking on with mine now, but just curious really.

I think it is first come first served. However I think Uni's still have to consider anyone who has applied before 1st December....I think...lol
