Got unconditional offer from Glasgow Caledonian today if anyone else was applying there. Still waiting for Liverpool. too.
Congratulations! What's your first choice?
How much work experience do people generally have?
I thought my work experience wasn't enough/relevant but I suppose ther's nothing i can do about it now - did 2 weeks at a primary school, a week in an care home, shadowed an OT for a day and have helped a friend with ME over the past 2 years. Mind you, I was looking at other threads and people had lots more experience than that!

i know i have only had the email to say that liverpool have got my application! nothing else!!
i've had 2 days shawoding both mental health and physical OTs, i help out at my local primary school once a week and i also help out at an after school club with children with autism once i week - i just hope thats enough!!
How long ago did everyone whos had offers send their UCAS off??

ohh i was worrying but i only sent mine off on the 17th Dec, they said they can give offers up to the end of March but i just really want to hear something soon! Only heard from York St John to say they've got my application but i haven't heard from any of the others to even say they've got my application yet!
I didn't send mine until the start of January so I'm not expecting any offers or interviews or anything for a while but I've had two e-mails to say they've got my application (Liverpool which I got yesterday and UEA which I got even before I got my UCAS welcome letter so it's probably just an automated thing).
I want to hear from Cardiff too but realistically I know it's hard to get into and I won't be able to go there unless the NHS funds my course.

First choice is Liverpool but if I keep getting unconditional offers from everywhere I might change my mind!
Experience wise I haven't been able to get any expeience because my local hospital doesn't have placement oportunities due to patient confidentiality but going to an OT open day there in a couple of months. I've just been working in the hospital as a Ward Clerk for the past 6 months.
Mine will all either be unconditional or rejection because I'm not at school so they can't put any conditions on it (except interviews).
Experience wise I spent a week in an mental health OT ward (a long time ago), a year and a bit volunteering at a riding for the disabled centre, 2 summers at a special needs summer camp (will be 3 by September) and I work as a care worker for people with autism at the minute.
How have everyones interviews been? Were they group or individual? Formal or relaxed? Was there any extra bits like essays or exams (like they have at Cardiff)? Any hard questions?

Just got an offer from Salford which is my second choice so quite pleased! Yeaah e.nia Liverpool is my first choice! Where have you applied to/what's your first choice?
Well done!
But did you get interviewed for Salford?
I have to go there for an interview in a couple of weeks and it's nerve-wracking not to mention expensive as I have to fly from ireland and miss 2 school days. Then I have to do the same thing again next month for Northumbria! I haven't heard anything yet from Cardiff and Edinburgh QM. Ah well, no pain no gain...
hello
