    Did anyone on the waiting list recently call up Peninsula, if you did, please post some updates. I had called them up last week and they said the medical panel was going to have a meeting.

    If anyone had recently called and asked, please update, I am unable to call as I am working the whole day.

    Rand them up today, feburary interviewees will star hearing back at the end of this week to the start of next week.
    After that (they're having a meeting on friday to sort out who's getting offers from waiting list and what scores to set and that)
    waiting listers will hear into the start of next week or mid next week.

    Completely disagree, I thought it was very well organised. The briefing just before the interview was really informative, literally exactly the questions I was asked. The interviewers were really friendly and the fact that it's scripted is way better, I've had other interviews where I've been asked extra questions that other people haven't been asked, that's hardly fair.

    If you haven't performed as well as you want don't blame the interview format/university! :rolleyes:
    Just got an offer...my comments were nothing to do with being disappointed with how it went. Still stand by what I said, but you're welcome to disagree. Good luck
