everyone whos got interviews, what were your AS grades and A2 predictions?

also does anyone know what to expect roughly from the interview - is it more of a case of expressing interest and knowledge of the course or a test of academic capability ?

From what I've heard, they're very informal. Just basically asking Why MMORSE? and Why Warwick?

You get told at the interviews that you have an offer unless you are an axe murderer..

Stop scaring people; I guarantee you they won't ask any academic questions.

To be fair, the first two questions *have* been asked last year. The third one...let's just say it's a special case.

Yep. I've been a helper for the last two years (for interviews/etc), and actually stayed behind till 4pm (most of the time), and usually those who just had an interview always came back and told everyone what questions were asked, etc. So Ree69 is kind of mistaken in the guarantee that no academic questions will be asked. Or rather, the more mathematical ones won't be asked, which is a shame...

My apologies. It's just my interview last year was a bit of a joke.
