Re: Southampton 2012 Applicant's ThreadThanks!(Original post by glf2110)
I would phone the admissions dept and check. Explain the distance that youre travelling, you may not be needed.
They asked me to set up the date for a telephone chat with an academic.
I'm quite nervous as I've never been interviewed by phone.
Do you have any idea how these chats work and how long do they last?

Re: Southampton 2012 Applicant's ThreadMaths you said? The face to face chats are informal and last about 20-25 minutes. I can't imagine they'd keep you on the phone that long though.(Original post by ievaavei)

Re: Southampton 2012 Applicant's ThreadOh I don't know where I got maths from. Your interview might be a bit more formal then if they're so insistent you speak to someone rather than just skip it. I couldn't attend mine and it was no big deal. I have no experience of film and philosophy though. I'm sure it'll be fine! It's likely a chance for you to get any questions about the course answered etc/ a chance for them to sell the course and department to you. -

Re: Southampton 2012 Applicant's ThreadI am thinking that maybe they will be asking me questions based on my PS or something. But it seems that I will be the one who will be asking(Original post by alibee)

So, from my experience i can tell u they say that the talk lasts about 25 mins, mine was about 40 mins, and first they ask you questions and then they allow you some time to ask questions u have. As for what they ask, they will usually ask things they find interesting or maybe suspicious in your PS, also ask a sort of problem solving question, for example i had a question about how i managed the publication of a magazine and what did i do as editor, and also to say my opinion on Amazon. They will however ask some things from the recommendation letter as well and usually they want to see if you would fit into their uni. Don't worry about it, just make sure to know what you said in the PS, think about what you did related to the course and why you want to study that subject. There would be more to say but just be confident and i'm sure you'll do great
And btw I'm also an EU studentLast edited by lexutza; 09-02-2012 at 19:17. -

Got an offer from Soton for Criminology and Psychological Studies, but the management degree also has a 1 year placement. So I decided it would be better for my future career. Hope you do well at your interview x x

Re: Southampton 2012 Applicant's ThreadSo your offer is just AA including Physics, contact them if you're worried or w/e(Original post by Kaiser7)
I just got an offer of AAA including maths and physics, but I've already gotten an A* in maths and they know this, so how could they offer me this offer.
I'm confused.
