    Ooh interesting, I had my interview on 7th April (the last day of interviews) and they definitely said it would be next month before we found out! Would be nice to know before Easter, don't know how you guys who had early interviews have been sooo patient!

    I take it no-one has heard anything yet??

    Well done everyone with an offer!

    Perhaps they're sending out all the offers first,.. and all the 'unsuccessfuls' later... which may explain why i'm yet to hear! Ha..

    Figners crossed to everyone still waiting anyway! x

    conditional offer woo...
    what are the conditions though

    EDIT: Found the conditions lol! need to get 33 credits at merit.....so basically the rest of my assignments need to be merits/distinctions.

    Well done!! Ahh you've given me a little ray of hope now! My theory was obviously wrong, haha... maybe the people that have been unsuccessful just aren't ready to tell yet! I am literally glued to UCAS track - it's gotta be today!!

    I'm assuming Salford is everyone's preferred uni?? x

    Oh no I'm really sorry to hear that - did you get any feedback? I didn't feel the interview went at all well so i'm probably in the same boat,.. still waiting to find out though.
    Have you got other options?? x

    Re: Social work interview at salford 2011
    ah thanks, im just gutted now. the feedback was that my contribution to interview was excellent, i have all the relevant experience required but there were stronger candidates, and to re apply next year. i already applied for the access to social work at the manchester college and awaiting an interview with them. also just applied to stockport for their part time social work course and also health and social care full time. so it aint over till its over! really peeved though that i could have done all this two months ago if salford hadnt dragged their feet so much with decisions, its really not good practice! good luck to you, i hope you get in x
