Nope! Glad I'm not the only one wondering this! I keep trying to tell myself not to worry as there's still 3 weeks of Feb to go but with each passing day I'm getting more stressed!

I hear interviews aren't usually until March but thought I wouldve heard something by now haha, sent my application off in October and been waiting ever since :,(

hey what kinds of questions did they ask at the interview? Ive got mine next month

Hi, the questions were mainly focused on the roles and responsibilities of an ODP, our general knowledge of health care values, and what our attitudes and behavior should be when working with patients. Also make sure you know about what's going on in the media regarding the NHS, as you will be asked about your opinion regarding current events. Good luck!

Yeah I was told by the course lead they invite during Jan/Feb for interviews in March/apr, but I have to confess I'm getting a little anxious even though we still have a couple of weeks in Feb left! Stress! Especially stressful when you pick up an email from UCAS, get all excited and then discover it's a circular about media or similar! Talk about getting hopes up! Do you know if they only get in touch if you are successful or do you think they let you know their decision either way?

Thanks!
I applied in mid October and I think I heard back from them just after Christmas? (It was an agonising wait because they kept sending me marketing emails before the actual interview email!)

You still have a chance! You should ring admissions and ask them what's going on. Be persistent, after all, this could change your future!
