I heard back from Surrey tonight asking for a fitness test saying I had received a conditional offer! Anybody else heard back?

I emailed them a few days back and still no reply so I am not sure if they're in much of a rush

I think I'll wait a bit.
Just got an invite for a 'selection day' at Greenwich next Tuesday, which seems to be their way of saying an interview. Anyone else got this? Anyone know if it's MMI or regular?

A selection day, in my experience, is neither - you do a load of activities in small groups like discussions about a scenario or a current issue, group problem solving, test, presentations etc. they are just making sure you're a well rounded person. They don't really ask you any one-on-one questions. Hope that helped.

Read what they've sent you as it should give you an outline of the kind of format to expect

Is anyone still waiting for replies? I applied in December and feel like I'm the only person still waiting, it's so frustrating!

There's not a lot in terms of that, it does say that those who pass the literacy & numeracy tests will be invited to attend the selection/interview (they use those a bit interchangeably), but doesn't specify what that consists of.

Have you not got any? Where did you apply to? I took until January to apply and got interviews with Beds, Herts and Greenwich (16 & May 17), just waiting on SGUL.

Where have you applied to? I'm still waiting to hear from Edge Hill & LJMU, haven't heard a thing! Has anybody else applied to them?

I got rejected from Herts and Brighton, got offered Human Physiology instead of Para Sci by Portsmouth, still waiting on Bournemouth and Suffolk.

Yeah, mine too. I have no idea how to prepare for it, and it's not smart dress or anything is it? Just says if you pass this you get an interview on another date

Ahh okay, a bit of forewarning Preston and surrounding areas aren't that nice, unsure on the Uni itself but I have to go there for certain things and don't necessarily enjoy the experience
