Occupational Therapy BSc 2014

Hey everyone,

I've applied to do Occupational Therapy at UEA, Canterbury Christ, Southbank, Oxford Brooks and Northampton. I sent mine off last friday but I haven't heard anything as of yet. Has anyone else got any offers yet?

Hey, don't worry about it too much, most people don't get interviews until a week or sometimes 2 after they've sent it off. You'll have plenty of offers rolling in soon I'm sure :smile:

I've got interviews from, Coventry, Cumbria and Northampton so far :biggrin:

I live quite far from the uni's I've applied to and train + accommodations is really starting to cost me. Has/is anyone experiencing from these issues?

Hi :smile: I've applied for Derby, Cumbria, Sheffield Hallam, York St John and Teesside University. I sent in my application around the start of November and have had Interview offers for Derby, Cumbria and Teesside. I have my first interview for Derby this Friday and I'm nervous :smile: Any advice? what to wear? I want to make a good impression but not over the top formal, plus there is a group activity. Cumbria is my first choice though :smile: I have that interview in January. Still waiting for Sheffield Hallam and York St John to get back to me.

I thought it went really well :smile: It was a group interview : it started by having a tour of the OT section and then we watched a video and we had to do a written task for 30 mins (answering 2 questions- DW this was really simple, feel free to message me for more info) . Split into groups of 6- given a task (discuss a scenario) then we were asked individual questions in front of the group (prepare for this eg: how do your friends describe you.) Some people at Brookes said they had the UEA one too so they will know what to expect (maybe - can you tell me what happens at the UEA one please? )

I've applied for OT at Oxford Brookes, Bournemouth, Brunel, Canterbury Christchutch and Southampton. UCAS was sent off last week and so far I've received a conditional offer from Brunel with no interview.

Hello! I wouldn't worry because uni's have until May to make any offers, but I can't imagine it taking that long. You sent yours off very early (well done) so that could be a reason why it's taking abit longer as they're still receiving/interviewing everyone else. Good luck!

I also have an interview at Derby this Friday! I'm thinking of wearing just a black skirt and smart top :smile: I'm a bit worried about the group activities that includes a written task.. don't really know how to prepare! Good luck :smile:

I'm wearing black jeans and a nice black top :smile: Nervous about it tomorrow though knowing me I'd end up getting lost or something. A bit nervous about the group stuff and one to one interview but hopefully I'll be alright :smile: good luck!
