I'm applying for the MEng too, and don't think it matters at all.


Did I read somewhere that you already have offers? How come? You must have an amazing application. It's getting me worried seeing that people have offers and interviews from places I've applied to. I think my grades and reference are good.... hope my personal statement doesn't suck.

I have offers from Nottingham, Leeds and Sheffield, and an interview at Birmingham next week. I sent my application off pretty early though, and it's only October, so there's still lots of time to get offers :smile:

Who has offers so far? How long did they take to reply?? I got all my acknowledgements, but I dotn have any interviews/offers. I applied on the 20th OCT. Any info would be nice :smile:
And I also have work experience at a chemical engineering firm and I talked about it a lot in my personal statement. I am feeling very nervous!

Lol not amazing. AABB with high A's in Maths and Chemistry. Got a B in physics, got As in the exams but my teacher didn't teach us the practical skills properly so I got 3 marks off an A overall :frown:. Got a high B in biology although I hated the subject by the end of the year. My predicted is A*A*Aa with the a in further maths. My reference was really good, my grades aren't as good as my subject knowledge due to me doing alot of pre-reading, I understand the topics but I can't really express them on paper if you get what I mean. I spent like 3 months on my personal statement too lol.

Well Done :biggrin: If you don't mind my asking, what did Leeds want?

Just got interview confirmation from Loughborough, any tips on what they might ask and how stupid I shouldn't make myself look?:s-smilie::confused:

Sorry, no interview tips...I'd like to know myself. I'm curious, when did you send your application off and how long after did you get notified about your interview?
Why are Loughborough ignoring me??:frown:

Thanks! My Leeds offer was AAB, are you applying there?

As for what questions they might ask at interview I'm not sure. Well done on getting an interview though :smile:

I got the invite a week after my application was processed. No idea why they're ignoring you, but if it helps they're the only ones who I've heard back from :smile:
