From Bristol? I just got offered to visit on the 5 Dec for Bristol Pharmacology!! but neuroscience, physiology and pharmacology are having visit days together. do you know if thats a probable offer, or do they invite most people to those days? I dont know? It seems pretty involved, like you have a go on the simulator man (stan), so i cant imagine they do that for alot of people?

just got an invitation to a pre-offer visit day :biggrin:


I am going to that pre-offer visit day for Neuroscience! Dead excited!

I've applied for Neuroscience :smile:

My AS grades were AAAB (Biology, Physics, Geology, Chemistry)
My predicted grades are A*A*A* (I've dropped Geol)
I have applied for Manchester, Bristol, Nottingham, UCL, and Cambridge.
So far I have offers from Manchester (AAA), Nottingham (AAB), a Pre-offer visit day with Bristol and some Questionnaire for UCL :smile:

Good luck to everyone!!

Heeeey :biggrin: Yes the interview went well! It was quite clear that most people who had an interview would get an offer because we were already on the "short list"! There is nothing to worry about, the interview itself only lasts for about 15 minutes, and it's really informal and just like a chat. Just make sure you know your stuff about what you have written on your personal statement, but mostly, make sure you have a clear answer for "why do you want to study neuroscience?" :smile: I think you will be fine as long as your make it clear that you love Neuroscience and find it really interesting :biggrin:

I'm doing the UCL questionnaire as we speak! It's ok...I think I'm going to spend quite a bit of time on it though because I want to come across the best as I can! All intellectual like :wink: It's instead of an interview I think? How is yours going?

I was considering neuroscience. Can someone briefly tell me what it entails and most importantly, what career pathways branch out from this?

I was making space in the questionnaire :smile:
Just sent my UCL questionnaire :biggrin: Fingers crossed!

I've just got it too :smile: Doesn't everyone get it who meets the minimum entry requirements?
How are you finding it? I don't like the fact they don't give you a word limit as I'm not sure quite how much detail to go in to :s


I thought UCL were giving out these questionnaires this year instead of interviews :smile: So it's kind of equivalent to that (me thinks anyway). I just sent mine back! I didn't like that either but I just put down everything I thought was relevant xD

Oh right yeah that would make sense. I sent mine back yesterday! I wonder how many people they give it to compared to how many offers they make...

Hopefully not to many as that would give us a greater chance of receiving an offer! :biggrin: heheheh

Hi guys! what on earth did you people write for the last question on the questionnaire for UCL? just wanna make sure i was going down the right track..!

I had an email response the day after I sent mine back. It just said "we will be in touch very soon"... sounds ominous.
How soon is very soon? I hope it's very soon...if that makes any sense at all.
