Be there for 1pm for the 90 minute briefing and then from 1.30 onwards. What about you?

Briefing is only supposed to be half an hour and even then it lasts like 20 minutes max....?

It does happen, at my glasgow interview one person didnt turn up.
Also people might have had an offer from other unis and if its an unconditional they withdraw from their interview at other unis which opens up spaces.

Was your Glasgow one yesterday? I was meant to be going but have asked to be re-scheduled cause of exams, so it might have been me that wasn't there :/

Does anyone know how many spaces Aberdeen have? I know approximately 700 are interviewed but what about gaining a place after interview, what are the chances?

They accept around 330 people (conditional and unconditional offers) so just under 50% chance.

Still trying to sort it out. But because of my circumstances there was no way I could go so I think they kinda have to re-schedule it. (hopefully)

I'm just waiting for my rejection now (don't want to be disappointed. it'll hurt more)... No words can describe how sad I feel right now...

I wish you all the best with your applications, guys. You do deserve it. :smile:

Yeah im a re-applicant so i know how it feels, plus that long wait till march to get rejected..
But checking last years thread there have been people who have had interviews in march then getting an unconditional 2 weeks after.
