    Woah well done! I got a open day selection thing for Economics and Geography the other week
    But I'm really not sure what the interview thing entails? Do you reckon the interview is like reading a article and discussing or talking about your personal statement or a mixture of both? Or is it more tutorial?
    Thanks

    I understand they run both mock tutorials and one to one interviews at UCL, will it say specifically on the letter which one you have or do you find out on the day? I received an invite to the selection day today but it doesn't mention one to one interviews anywhere on it.. thanks.

    wooo got a selection day invitation!

    Does anyone know what the interview entails? From the letter I didn't get the impression it was a one on one thing...? :confused:
    Reading it, I got the feeling there was no one on one interivew, and that we would be assess by this 'mock tutorial'. Scary!! :eek:

    Don't expect UCL's Geography admin staff to be that quick - their email comms can be bloody terrible.

    My letter was so confusing! It suggested it was a group thing like a tutorial, discussion stuff.
    But then at the end said all 'interviews' will be finished by 4:30pm.
    So I'm not sure!
