Just had a read through this tread and it brings back loads of memories.

I'm in my 1st year at GCU so went through all of this last year. The uni's did take a while to get back to everyone (i applied to Stirling, Strath, UWS and obviously GCU) i think i was well into March before i had my last reply.

Stirling (offer around mid Feb) were the 1st to get back to me and Strath were last (rejection) I heard from UWS the day after my interview (offer) and i think CGU was around the end of Feb.

Good luck everyone :smile:


Hey there:smile:!
How did you find the interview at UWS? was it a group or individual?
Still waiting to get any sort of reply from everywhere apart from strath, freaking out!!:frown:
Are you enjoying the course so far?

Hi Everyone! I've applied to Social Work as well this year :smile:
Applied to Strathclyde, GCU, UWS, Stirling and Edinburgh.
Sent away my second personal statement and other essay to strathclyde, hear back by April apparently
interview for UWS on tuesday!
got some questions to do for Stirling
and unsuccessful from Edinburgh :frown:

Can I ask what age you all are? I'm applying from sixth year, no idea if thats quite common or if most people have a lot more life experience before they apply?!
hey rowan! :smile:

i'm ancient but i think the others are closer to your own age...albeit a tad older perhaps? lotsa luck to you too tho and let's hope we all get what we want out of all this!

ps. SW tends to attract those with more life exp but that doesn't mean u won't get anywhere. 2nd stage for 4/5 aint bad, chick :wink:
