I'm only a first year so I haven't been here long. I've mainly just enjoyed meeting loads of new people and having the paramedic centred lectures (some of the general healthcare ones are a bit poo but they need to be done). I'm going to be starting placements in less than 2 weeks so I'm really excited about that!

(Sorry about all the questions, before and now)

What was your academic background- what did you leave school/college with? And in your opinion, how likely is it to be offered an interview in the first place, and was the probability high for people to get an offer after the initial interview? I think thats all the questions as I think of them! Sorry! :smile:

Its ok. I was really nervous when I applied.

I left college with A levels in Psychology (B), Chemistry (C), General Studies (C) and Computing (D) and As Biology (E).

From what I remember Northampton interview almost everybody thats predicted to meet the entry requirements. They then grade your personal statement and your interview and the people with the highest scores get a place. This year they had 22 places but 2 people have been defered to next years course. Northampton also do a reserve list (instead of clearing) which is actually how I got my place.

I had my heart set on Northampton, but unfortunately they arent moving on the driving points issue, as i have a TS10. Looks like im going to be checking Oxford Brookes and Worcester now. I was a bit gutted that Northampton havent changed the driving during their new course, the Foundation Degree.

Ive applied to Northampton, Cov, Herts and Portsmouth. I sent my application in on the first day you could, theres no point at keep looking at tracking, just keep an eye on the post and emails, i had an email this week offering me an interview at Cov for Feb, but nothing has changed on my tracking page on ucas, so thats the reason why you don't keep looking at that, i think the first time anything will change on my tracking will be when uni's either give me an offer or not, which will be a long way away yet! I'm just waiting around to hear from the rest! I'm hoping to get an interview at Herts and Northampton, as they are the two other uni's i really want to get into!

And you would be correct :smile:

sometimes though you might even hear of an offer before it goes on track, sometimes quite a bit before. Say through e-mail, post, or phone call.

I heard back from Coventry and Sheffield Hallam this week. I got an interview for Cov on the 12th, and an out-right rejection from SHU.
Was absolutely DEVASTATED tbh as it was my favourite. Me and my head of sixth form rang up to ask for feedback, and we found out applicant numbers and that. Put me at ease really. I cant wait though for the interview. It sounds like lots of people have one, which is great news!!! Im going to be joining the gym though beforehand!! :biggrin:

Im same as you then lol got my interview on the 12th Feb and an out right rejection from Sheffield Hallam Uni (Dont have the 5 GCSE's) Im a mature student who did an Access to HE Diploma in Social Sciences with Level 2 maths and English. Its a bit rubbish to be honest but thats the way Sheffield works. Ive emailed the course tutor direct and they have said they will look at my application again because my life experience/work history is excellent. Really looking forward to the Coventry interview though :P hoping my life experience will get me through it lol. Im 24 :frown:

so panicing ill be the oldest lol Have to wait and see. Good luck with the gym and ill be doing same haha

Does anyone know anything about accommodation for interviews in Coventry? Cos I'm coming form up North so a 9:00 start will be interesting if I don't stay somewhere!

Pinkling, I used Travelodge last year when I went for uni interviews... they were quite useful and cheap
