Postgraduate Speech and Language Therapy 2012

Hi all, well rejected from my last option City, very depressing!!
I wondered if the guys on here who did get in (well done to all of you!) might be able to give us some tips as to what they have been doing, working as, volunteering etc to help with our application next year! I know for example my first degree is not that relevant but was told for City this wouldnt be a problem if I could show enough of the other exp, clearly I need more!

It would be great if people could (and had the time of course!) to say:
- what they work in currently (is it relevant, related?)
- what kind of volunteering exp do they have (on what sort of regular basis)
- how they described this in relation to SLT on their applications

I know this is a big ask but if you do have any tips I would be so grateful!!

Guys Im so sorry to hear that that really sucks Maybe email them or ring and ask why you wern't successful?

I STILL havn't heard anything back from City, do you think I should ring? It seems most people have heard whether they've been accepted or rejected by now :/

I got a rejection email from City this morning
So I am now totally out of the equation, because Reading rejected me too and I didn't apply
anywhere else.

I know Im the same thinking maybe there's a chance?! I don't know. I have my UEA undergrad interview next week so really want to know before then so I won't be worrying needlessly over it.

I just keep refreshing my email over and over again!

Just wondering when people actually applied? I waited till the last day to submit my application. Just wondering would that have anything to do with not hearing back yet??

I applied 2 days before the deadline and haven't heard anything x

PS Anyone heard from Sheffield yet? x

Good luck to you guys waiting to hear back from City! Got my fingers crossed for you.

Anybody going to the Newcastle interview on Friday?

Xxx

Hey I'm really sorry for everyone who didn't get the place they were hoping for. Fingers crossed for those of you who haven't heard yet.




Are you only looking for this from people who got accepted at City or just anywhere? I was accepted by QMU if that's any use to you? I'd be happy to show you my personal statement if you like x

Yes Kath_H, I am going to be there! How are you feeling about it. Did I read you were an undergrad there too?

You could apply to essex. worth a shot maybe?

Got the rejection email too, boo. UCL interview was quite hard, not sure if I made a good impression

Its fair to say that I am absolutely GUTTED I just want to get on with my career now but this
has set me back at least another year.....if not more.

But I sincerely hope that the rest of you guys have more luck than me and get onto a place somewhere.
You all deserve to do well and get onto a course, so GOOD LUCK XXX

Have you tried phoning them? x
