I've applied for OT :biggrin:

! Got given an unconditional from Brunel today after an interview (I already have a degree so not waiting on results) ! But still haven't heard from Cardiff, Oxford Brookes, Southampton or UWE :frown:

I haven't heard back from Oxford Brookes either...I haven't had anything to say that they've got my application either so it's all a bit nerve racking :s-smilie:

I am sure you`ll be fine. One tip in group interviews/discussions is to makee sure you have your say/view but also listen to others (which I am sure you`ll do :smile:

They are looking at your communication skills, your abililty to listen and your warm personality. I wore a black dress, cardi and boots. I would say as long as you try to steer away from jeans, etc.. like clw92 said you wont look to casual, wear what your most comfortable in. Good luck! :tongue:

Congrats on your offer. I havent heard from Cardiff either. What`s your previous degree in? I graduated in 09 with Psychology. Currently work as an LSA with a child with a statement of special educational needs (health and learning needs). Really want to get in to LSBU as would be able to stay at home and save a lot of money, my job isn`t well paid so have been able to save little :frown:

Hi, glad to hear that you've got offers! I've applied to York St John too. How was the interview like?

Hey thanks :smile:

makes a shock from last year i applied to physio and got 5 rejections :P and York St John is groups of about 10 or 12 you sit in a circle and answer questions and then the groups are split in two and each group has a task to do. :smile:

I love York so much but have decided on Cumbria :smile:

I had an interview at cumbria uni, carlisle campus last week, that was a one to one interview. However, when I graduated in 09 I was applying for Mental Health Nursing courses and a lot of them were group interviews. Hope I hear back from more soon.... :s-smilie:

I applied directly. x

Mine is in psychology too :smile:

are you applying for the PgDip then? I gave up on that one as I found that most of the people applying for it, like yourself, have relevant health/social care jobs already...and I can't compete with that lol! :frown:

Hi, I am applying for the PgDip, but I have also like you applied for some BSc ones(LSBU and Brunel) as I really really want to do the course and am trying to keep my options open as much as possible.
