    Ive gone for daisy bank, not sure if i'll get accomodation though as theres a 25 mile boundary and I live either 24.3 or 28.1 miles away depending on the route I take, dont think I could cope commuting and the private halls seem too expensive, so hoping theyll let me stay at Daisy Bank!

    I made the same mistake as you though, didnt stick around for the tour after my interview!

    I think there was another Mike interviewing, but never met him. In regards to your question, I honestly don't know. The applicants day is only for people who have been made an offer to study, so if anything, I would say you should expect the best, but I must stress that I have no insider knowledge - we interviewed and then it's over to the admissions tutors. Good luck with it.
    How do all? Has anyone got a post interview rejection from St. George's? Just trying to weigh up my chances.

    Ta x.

    Sorry to hear about your rejection, any success from other unis?

    At Coventry you need BBB/d at A/AS level which is 330 Ucas points but DDD at BTEC which is 360 Ucas points; the next lowest score on BTEC is DDM which would only be worth 320 so they have rounded it up making it more difficult for BTEC people. At Birmingham they could keep the points needed equal as you only needed DDM at BTEC which is 320 points or ABB at A level which is also 320 Ucas points. I've firmed Coventry but should be easily fine at BTEC this year as I got D* last year and got D on all units so far this year and more or less finished (Hopefully D*D*D* or D*D*D according to my tutors and no exams = 420/400 Ucas points ) Good luck!

    I thought St George's weren't giving any offers until they've finished interviews??
    They've told me that in emails, on the interview day itself and I got this email from them today..

    "Dear Applicant
    This is to inform you that we have not yet completed interviews for the
    BSc Physiotherapy course and will be making our offers by the beginning
    of May..."
    When I had my interview on 14th March, they told everyone we would hear a decision by Easter weekend at the latest, because they had three more weeks of interviews to do. It might be different depending when you were interviewed though?

    Have you heard back then?
    I was interviewed 14th December, but in their email they said not to ring or email them inquiring further information because they'll tell me as soon as they have it :confused:
