Hey everyone,
I've just received an interview for Plymouth University later this month, I was wondering if anyone's also going for an interview there :smile:

I've also applied to Hertfordshire, Robert Gordon, Glasgow Caledonian and Ulster (I'm a northern Irish girl :smile:

) has anyone heard back from any of these unis? (Apart from ulster, gotta do the HPAT first)

Look forward to seeing you both there :smile:

I was worried about not getting an interview so it's a great relief :smile:

Do you have any idea what to expect for this interview? Do you think it will be the standard 'why do you wanna do dietetics?' Or do you reckon they'll throw in anything obscure?

I'll be the only guy there, that's what happened at surrey! Haha!! I have no idea, at Surrey it was a new system so generic questions 'why do you want do the course, what relevant experience do you have etc' but I don't know about Plymouth :/

How did your Surrey interview go? :smile:

this is my first interview so I'm just hoping for the best, and hoping they don't grill me about my less than pleasing grade in AS chemistry :P

I think Surrey went quite well actually, that was my first and everything was really relaxed! Oh god they asked me about that, I got BCC (economics biology and Chem) and the interview was said, tell me about your AS grades, they weren't as high as you hoped, and I was like yeeeaaahh about that :colondollar:

hahaha

I ended up with BBBD (biology, maths, religious studies and the D in chemistry :'(), I think it was due to low confidence really, being stuck in a class with potential doctors who complained about anything below 90% :P

My notts one came in the post, but Surrey was on their applicant portal and email, wasn't on ucas though

Congrats on your interview! :biggrin:

I have applied to Notts too, like yesterday, and was wondering about the questionnaire. Are the questions hard? I haven't seen anyone on this board talking about the questionnaire, so I would love to hear more (if you're not sworn to secrecy by the uni)! :smile:

The pdf on the Notts site says for MNutr they use a questionnaire to determine who they will invite for interview. Did you not do a questionnaire?

Where on the PDF does it say that, I'm quite worried now because I just applied via ucas and they sent me a letter in the post, inviting me for an interview on the 28th of January, I haven't filled in a questionnaire or anything? :/ have you done a questionnaire?

I dont know well because i am still wainting (and praying) to get an invite. I searched a lot regarding this questionarie, it seems it is something notts used to send until 2012 to potential candidates and depending on its results they would or not call for an interview. For what i understood now this questionarie is done in the morning of the interview day and depending on it you go to more interviews in the afternoon.
As i said that is my interpretation but if you received and invite i wouldnt worry. Just enjoy it! Notts is my first choice hope all goes well in your interview :smile:
