    Yeah it is for the same day. At 9.45? I think the group task will possibly be presenting a drama or something along those lines. Not entirely sure though, just a thought. I'm quite nervous about preparing the presentation and getting that bit right!

    The group task for last year was to create a poster, according to someone I know who had an interview last year I think they had to design a school :/

    I'm sure it won't be too bad! Stirling is my first choice too, but I'm the same, anywhere would be great I've got an interview for Glasgow (Dumfries campus) on tuesday but that's the only other one I've heard back from.
    Seems Stirling aren't doing interviews this year though so it's all just based on our application :/
    Where else have you applied?

    Oh that's good!! I applied to Stirling, Glasgow, Dundee, Edinburgh and UWS... Dundee is the only one I've heard back from. Yeah I got an email from Stirling saying it'll be late feb/ march before we here back. What specialism did you choose for there? It's so nerve wracking all this waiting!!

    Yeah, I have no idea what the interviews going to be like but I'll just have to wait and see! I've applied to UWS aswell, do you know how long they've taken to reply in previous years? Yeah, but at least we know how long it'll be! I went for the modern languages specialism, which one did you choose? I know, I wish they'd just hurry up and tell us!
