HHmm, had an "unsuccessfull" message today from liverpool university, reason stating I did not include the clinical placement form with my application, and that I have no recent academic qualifications???
Does this sound right to you guys? Did you have to send off a seperate clinical placement form as part of the application process?

P.s. I have a Science degree already, graduated a few years ago.

I cant remember anywhere in the application process it stating "applicants need to have finished A levels within a certain time period" OR "Please send seperate details of your clinical placement"

Can anyone enlighten me?

have you tried phoning them?

I had a simlar problem, my work experience is this friday so it wouldnt of been before the interview.
but surley the fact that im doing work experience wether before or after should count for something?
+ my gcse's were from a*s to c... but because my maths is a grade C i got unsuccesful!

so fustrating gcse's were a doddle to pass, why should it have such a big impact

[GyStudent]

It is strange, say for instance you had a C in gcse Maths, but a B in A level Maths, then your C would still go against you! its crazy. I had a C in english so know all about this little problem

The email they sent me literally says "The School of Health Sciences will not enter into further correpondence about this decision"

Basically saying, we're fobbing you off please dont argue!
Although I will give them a ring

I didn't even touch the sandwiches! I don't like mayo so I was pretty screwed (I think my dad clearly enjoyed them tho... Loll)

Kinda! I really liked it, but also am really unsure! That youtube video made me cringe in all honesty lol! I originally had City+Herts for certain, but now I'm kinda torn with liverpool cos of it's status!

How about you? Or are you still unchanged on your decision?

My dad also told me I must make my own way to Cardiff if i get an interview after I slated his driving on the way home, fml -.- ^^

Hahaa, I also don't like mayo so stayed well clear of the sandwiches :P

I'm also kinda confused, I really like the sound of the course at Liverpool, sounds really interesting, but I think the jam packed schedule would stress me out, as at Scottish uni's its a 4 year course so is more spread out and not as intense...still get decent holidays and stuff :\

Mine is on 16th april!!
Its worded a bit odd though, the word "interview" is used several times, but its also called a "recruitment day"

Is birmingham your only choice left?

LMAO. Ye, its generally said that if you need a lift, dont dis the driver!! Although i do it to my GF all the time (mainly cos i want my car to stay in 1 piece!!)

Im interested in the youtube video they showed u, did it proper big up liverpool's status?? (it is regarded as a great university, even here in Wales!)

I wouldn't let it scare you too much, they actually run a PGDip in Liverpool too in radiotherapy (for recent graduates) which is 2 years!! So you will have time to relax a bit... Really though, its all about good time management. My advice - treat it like a job, work 9-5 week days (every week day) and assignments on weekends. If you only had 3 lectures in a day, you will probably find most people (instead of going to the library) would go to the bar, this is where those few hours really add up!

wooo another anti-mayo person!

I totally understand you, and the 4 years does sound really good in all honesty. the 9am starts after nights out are murder enough without them putting the 90% attendance thing on there lol :/
And the summer holiday for 3-4 weeks... i mean seriously!? I have a lads holiday every year in the summer for 2 weeks, this year Zante, next year Thailand probs, and I can't believe it. If the course is so PACKED, I would have thought they would have given us more holiday

I like the NHS discounts tho, makes up a little with it's 50% off at Papa Johns and 40% of at Dominos pizza

Yeah the holiday thing isn't good I have a job where I'm living at the moment and my boss has said I can go back during holidays for some work to get some extra money for uni, so if theres only 3/4 weeks holiday I won't be able to do that but I will be in a job a year quicker so its got its advantages too

I'm hating all this waiting now, keep getting waaaay more emails than usual and it makes me excited thinking one could be ucas

[nikita1]

Ah well done spoonforknife and jodiedoodles! So exciting! Wait until you have had your other interviews before making your decision.. good luck! x
