    I think so nicole, quite a few people still haven't heard and I think most are undergrads so I wouldn't panic.

    Mine is in the afternoon too, are there actually any morning sessions?

    Nicole, I'm undergrad - currently studying pre-vet med in Canada...which is half a degree, so I'm suppose I'm sort of a unpos-grad?!

    So what do you where to the nottingham interview because its got to be reasonably smart for the formal interview but casual enough to do the practicle part.
    So that kinda rules out heels!
    Any of the notts people that helped at the earlier interview could you possibly tell me what everybody else wore and what would be an idea of something practical to wear!

    Thanks

    Thanks guys for getting back to me at least I know I'm not the only one! I wish they hadn't given specific dates about when they're going to contact us, it makes it so much harder waiting!!!

    Any colours are fine as long as its not too in your face. Best thing is smart but comfortable. And flat shoes are good cos its a long afternoon/morning but heels may be ok if you dont mind standing in them.

    is it a good idea to wear something like a bright pink shirt to make you stand out from the others, and make them remember you?

    Do you think I need to have short sleeves?! just for the practical or something? I think I'm just going to wear what I wore to my other interviews which was black trousers, black flats, shirt and pink v-neck jumper.

    Same as the above advice really, make sure you're comfortable and not like....impractically dressed if you get what I mean (i.e not a dress n massive heels)
    I wore smart trousers, white shirt, black tank top and black flats and then a matching belt and neck scarf for a bit of...I dunno, just cos I like to co-ordinate like that.
