I'm going on the 29th too!!! I'm so scared :frown:

i think its because of not knowing what kind of questions they will ask apart from the obvious 'why do you want to study orthoptics?' :smile:

Also i am just wondering that on the Sheffield interview day to the people that have already attended is it just the DBS form you need to bring with you on the day or anything else?, i am reading all my emails and for Sheffield it seems to only be that but for Liverpool you need to bring copies of you GCSE certificates and you passport photo as well.
