(which you put into your PS).. sorry if it sounds cheeky,but I just want to check what are my chances..Haha no worries mate, I said I did an archaeological dig, I play rugby, I did an Open Uni course on Ancient Greek, I got a gliding scholarship and I can't really remember anything else. What about you?

That's great.. well I'm quite trying to get my experience at the last minute.. so,visited some lectures,going to volunteer with kids from difficult backgrounds ,currently doing sort of a school thesis from sociology and,yeah,I'm still doing a part-time job during all this (in a shop,so quite unusable in the PS).I also read about my future subject.. .. also I'm an EU applicant.... but I still fear it's not enough

Do you guys know how many people (as in percentage) get offers after the interview?

Hi I'm applying for Arch and Anth, and went to an Open Day and Interview on 14th November. So I can answer any questions about that if you want! Don't know if I have an offer yet though, although apparently they made their decisions this week and passed them onto the Faculty to update UCAS by the start of next week - so hoping I hear tomorrow!
I was told there's 55 places in Archaeology altogether, including about 20 for Arch and Anth. They'll make about 150 offers overall, 80 of which are for Arch and Anth. (Almost everyone at my Open Day was for Arch and Anth other than about 4 people!)

You're not the only one, but I heard they're not really technical, more about you as a person, so just be yourself!

That's quite reassuring! Are you applying for straight archaeology or joint honours?

It was actually really good, and definitely confirmed that I'd like to go there. I'd seen some of it before on the UCL Open Day, but it was still worth going, aside from the interview.
We had a tour of the department, a seminar on some objects, and should have had an object handling session but the person was ill.
Then we all had interviews between 12 and 2 which lasted about 20 mins. I was really worried about it, but it was pretty informal and more of a general chat. They asked mostly about stuff from their questionnaire, specifically about the object/location you chose, so be prepared to talk about that. But it was alright and nowhere near as stressful as I expected!
Finally, there was a general presentation about the course and life at UCL by some of the students, before you got a tour of the Anth department or the Petrie Museum.
