    Sorry to hear that, but you never know, maybe you guessed right or something. Did they tell you when you should know? Do let me know when you know

    Well I'm from Leeds but maintain a permanent residence here in Wolverhampton so I don't have to worry about accommodation. Live in Wallsal Student village? I was there during my first year, it's quite nice

    Hey, Good luck! I had to wait a whole month and I had my interview Dec 8th
    Some of my fellow students have still got to interview but I imagine places will start getting full soon so they probably won't make you wait much longer

    I have been unsuccessful at my first choice and my second choice was withdrawn because the course was full. i added two more choices where vacancies were, and they are Wolves and Worcester. I hope i can get in because the audits are so hard and i dont see the point of it if you want to teach primary.

    Hi, I also had my interview in December on the 8th and I got my place. So happy! Trying to sort out student finance but its a bit of a pain. Has anyone received any information in the post as the last information I had off them was my acceptance letter so I'm worried now that I haven't heard anything else.

    I haven't heard anything since the offer was made, but mine was conditional so having to wait for degree classification to come through so maybe they will get in touch after that? Do you know the confirmed cost/fees for the course?

    Mine was conditional too. Although I graduated 2 years ago so I'm not sure what the condition is! From what I've read I think the fee for 12/13 is 7490.00.
