I wanted an offer straight out!.

I really don't want to go but on the email, if successful they will upgrade the conditional offer.

I hate interviews, I think I am a good applicant, not the best. But I know in an Interview, I will mess up and wont be able to show them.


Oh god i didn't realise Plymouth did interviews! Im sure you'll be absolutly fine though... I still haven't heard anything back.. When did you apply??

Is it an upgrade to unconditional or just easier grades do you think???

Not too sure, could be unconditional or maybe lowering grade requirements!

So what's the interview? Did You get an offer but if you attend they upgrade it? Xx

I have no idea. If successful in the interview, there is a chance of upgrading the offer.

Part of the Selection day will involve a group discussion.
I really hope there is not an assessment.

I hope they respond to you soon!

If you don't mind me asking, when is your interview?
Mines is on the 30th of Jan but I want to defer it.
The 20th of Feb, I think is the next time they will be holding interviews.

OK got Cardiff today, AAA. SO now have 4/5

Manchester sent me an invite for the interview. I click on reschedule (on the UCAS page).

Do i need to contact the Uni?
Also, can i make a change now or is it too late?

Withdraw from Manchester and select either Plymouth or Glasgow?

I withdrew from Manchester... anyone wanting to go to Aston this year? :biggrin:

Me too! The City Campus doesn't too bad either but I think Fallowfield is pretty amazing judging by the pictures. Have you visited any of them yourself?


I have not visited them yet and I don't know when I will be able to see it. Luckily the accommodation is not even too expensive!

I hope they do! I have a friend going for an interview in February so if I find anything out I'll let you know! Have you visited the university before? What did you think of it? If anything I think It'll be my insurance choice since City will be my firm
