Nutrition and Dietetics applicants 2016

Original post by KatieAlicexxx

My first choice is currently Notts, but I do like the look of Surrey and Kings...
How about you?

Kings I think. Want to stay in london, so it's there or London Met! Can't wait to find out if/where I get in!!

Ah nice! Things that out me off about London are the prices and how busy it is... Coming from the countryside off would be quite a culture shock!

Did you say youd sent off your application yet?

Haha yeah! The prices are crazy- I do wonder sometimes if it's really worth it. But I'm a mature student, so got everything set up here now. So studying here makes sense- getting contacts here through placements etc.
I haven't just yet- by the end of the month I plan to have it sent. Have you? I wonder when we will start hearing back from them! Eeek!!

If any of you have sent off your applications already, have you received 'welcome' emails, or emails from universities stating that they're reviewing your application?

Ah well that's fair enough, makes sense of you have ties there! Yeah, I sent it to my tutor and he's just reviewing it! So scary!!

Hi! Yeah I made the thread so I could see if anyone else was applying for it (I didn't want to be alone!). Where are you applying to?

I'm so worried about what the interviews are going to be like! Does anyone have any idea how competitive they are?

I don't know how competitive the interviews are. I know some do group interviews!! Terrifying! I know there's about 30 applicants per place!

Has anyone had any offers to interview yet? I've heard kings and Surrey are giving out offers to other subjects already and it's making me nervous

That's what I was wondering, too.

Also, on the Nutrition and Dietetics 2015 thread, people mentioned some sort of questionnaire that has to be done at Nottingham. Does anyone know anything about this? I can't find anything on any questionnaire on the university website.

And does anyone know about the literacy and numeracy tests at Surrey that last year's applicants had to do?
