    I've had interviews at Oxford Brookes, Roehampton, York St John and St Marys, and I've had a conditional offer from Oxford Brookes, a conditional from St Marys and an email from YSJ saying I've been successful but have to wait for TDA numbers.
    So I just thought I'd offer a helping hand out there to anyone who is yet to have interviews at any of these (or any other universities!)
    Drop me a message, I'm happy to help!
    well done that's amazing what is your first choice? would you able to tell me about your oxford brooks interview as i have one on monday and am really nervous how did your presentation go and did you do something that others had to do something in or did you just ask them questions? thanks becca

    Thanks! And good luck for yours, obviously!
    I have no idea to be honest- it said you should come prepare to talk about a topic for a few minutes so I've written a talk and learnt it, but it could end up that I have to adapt it to include it in a conversation I guess.
    Sorry for the late reply been in London! How did your interview go?

    Hey, at the moment I think my first choice is York St John but it all depends on whether I get offered an official place there, I have to wait until January. But If I don't get in there, Oxford Brookes will be my first choice.
    My presentation went well, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be so don't worry too much, try not to be so nervous (I know it's easier said than done!) and also just keep preparing, you'll be fine. I did something that involved the others - asking them questions, giving them something to listen to and then a task to do. So I think it would be good for you to try to involve them as much as possible.
