I sent my ucas off in the 6th of December and I think it was about 10 days after that I got an interview but I will check what date :smile:


Thank you! Starting to get worried! :smile:

I checked, it was the 16 of December. Don't worry, the unis have been closed over christmas and new year so that will have slowed things down. I got an email from salford today clarifying my predicted grades so at least salford are looking at them too so you will probably hear from then soon. It's all so frustrating isn't it.

Out of interest, what made you guys want to apply for podiatry ? I'm not hating, just i personally am grossed out by feet lol.

Just seems to be a strange branch of medicine to aspire to be apart of.

I became interested in it when a girl from my school applied to do it a couple of years ago. I didn't know much about it so I looked into it and found it really interesting. There are so many specialisms within podiatry and it has good job prospects. I have always been interested in science and I'm not squeamish and after doing some work experience I knew it was what I really wanted to do. At the end of the day somebody's got to do it :smile: I'm grossed out by noses btw :smile:

At least they have started looking at them so you shouldn't wait too long. I was the same, constantly checking ucas and emails. They are probably dealing with the back log from over christmas and will then go through the January ones so I wouldn't worry :smile:

Was told today by a podiatrist I was very stupid not to apply to Queen Margret Uni as it's the best podiatry school! 🙈 hope I haven't made the wrong decision!

I don't know much about there. I didn't want to go to Scotland so I never looked into Queen Margaret. You have chosen good unis though and Hudds and salford both have really good and well established podiatry courses and I know podiatrists that have been to both so dont worry. I sent you a private message btw with a link to my Facebook if you have add me. Good luck to you too for Friday, be fabulous :smile:

It's lovely campus! I am really liking it, definitely feeling I made the right decision with Podiatry. Glad to have exams over with last week and can't wait to get onto placement in May.

If you have any questions just ask :smile:

Thats good :smile:, I got a really nice feel for the campus when I went.
I didnt get to see the facilities on site unfortunately, do they have the clinical labs etc? I was also wondering if it was a lot more theory based than the other unis? Sorry for asking loads of questions! So hard making a decision..
Interview at huddersfield yesterday. Very friendly and relaxed. Fingers crossed that I get an offer, I will be so gutted if I don't :smile:
