They didn't say anything at all. It really isn't an interview. The lady didn't ask me anything but she did ask other people why they chose those subjects and that's it. I spent most of the time speaking to Sixth Formers but if you don't want to speak to them, you can just sit quietly.

Have you had yours?

Oh yes. You can meet other girls who got conditional offers there too. You're put in a small room with 3 sixth formers and about 10 other applicants and you just talk. Then another sixth former comes in to tell you to come into your meeting. After that, you can have a tour or you can go home.

The meeting is literally no more than 5 minutes. Don't stress at all- it's not worth it!!

Everyone at that school wants to do medicine!!! One of the sixth formers speaking to us got an offer for medicine in Oxord!! Argggg!!!

Thanks for your reply! Phew! I'm less stressed out now. Were there any parents there or was it just students? And how long did the whole thing last ?

Haha! No. The parents stayed outside.

If you want a tour, then it'll probably take an hour but otherwise 40 minutes. The interview itself is only 5 minutes but you do spend a lot of time chatting. I think they've arranged it so that you have time to ask the sixth formers questions and have a chat with other students.

I got my letter yesterday, and it says that I need to bring along the "enclosed Data capture sheet" on results day. Only problem is... I didn't get a Data Capture sheet (whatever that is) in the post with my letter!

Should I email them and ask for one, or wait and see? Did you guys get one with your letter?

:smile:

Email and ask, absolutely. It was clearly supposed to be enclosed in the envelope and wasn't, so you're going to need to follow up about it - it's not going to be sent seperately.

im in year 10 at hbs and i would say that if you are extremely focused on work, for example get extra tutoring outside oof school, then its the place for you. However, if you are looking for a lively sixth form life full of parties and fun then hbs is not for you. Most people stay on at hbs for their friends because to be truthful the facilities arent great and the environment isnt very nice. Ive spoken to many 6th formers who say they'd rather have left. But its u to you, personally hbs was a bad choice for me and i cant wait to leave but its your choice.
