It would be silly if they didn't give exemptions, but did you try emailing or calling them to double check?

I haven't, have you? i will try contact them to ask

Had my interview for English today. Best discussion I've ever had on literature in ages and it wasn't nothing like the terrifying interrogation I had at Oxford last week. :burnout:

Definitely a place I could see myself being at for the next 3 years.

What sort of things did they ask? :smile:

It might be because the course you're applying for is quite oversubscribed so they are waiting for more applicants. However since it's been 5 weeks I'd probably send an email to the admissions office just to check.

I do IB so I didn't do AS levels but my predicted was 36 with a 6 in maths and my offer was 34 with a 6 in maths. Sorry I couldn't help more but I did get the offer the day after applying.

I JUST CHECKED TRACK AND SAW I GOT AN OFFER FROM BOTH QMUL AND UCL TODAY. AHHH I'M SO HAPPY :biggrin:

For the interview the tutor asked a few warm up questions from my personal statement. Make sure you can confidently talk about the texts you've included. They won't ask you direct questions like "What do you think about this character on page XXX?" More like "What did you think about [said novel]?" So you'll have plenty of freedom to say whatever you feel most confident about discussing.

I also had to discuss a piece of text. You might be asked to look through a poem or short prose. Tbh the tutors didn't care about whether I had read widely or not. They were just looking to see if I was enthusiastic and genuinely interested in English Lit. Pretty sure QMUL invite people they're going to give offers to bc the entire day was about persuading the candidates to choose QMUL. We had a campus tour, taster lecture, etc.

I think the hardest question I was asked was "Why do you do Physics and Further Maths for your other A-levels?" and I highly doubt they'll put you on the spot like that hahaha.

GOOD LUCK XX
