UCL English Interview (next week!)

Hi!! I had mine today and it was all completely based upon the books on my personal statement, no questions tripped me up whatsoever and they were such lovely people!! good luck and don’t worry too much about it, it’s super informal

Oh I'm glad it went well!! Thank you for the reply, it makes me feel a little more confident! How was the written test?

I haven't actually looked at it yet oops, however it doesn't look too difficult and definitely a lot to say about it

Hey, I forgot to ask - did they ask about anything you'd studied at A-Level? x

Hii. They only asked me about books on my personal statement, but I do have quite a lot of books on there. I would only really prepare for anything specifically mentioned on your personal statement, as the interviews are only 20 minutes long so they don't have a lot of time

hi, can I ask how long after you submitted your ucas application did you receive your interview offer? Thanks xx

Hii, I sent my UCAS application on the 6th of October and got an interview offer on 8th November

aa thanks! also do you know if they interview overseas candidates? On the website it says they probably don't but since the interviews are on zoom now that may have changed.

update! i had mine yesterday and it wasn't about my personal statement at all. they just asked me about three texts i'd done at a-level, so i think it's different for every

I applied in October for English and haven't heard anything about an interview. I am really worried now that this means I am out of the running for UCL. Does anyone know if not having an interview yet means a rejection ?

Hiya! From what I read on the website, On the website, it says:

'We assess applications by looking very carefully at the UCAS Form, including GCSE grades, and A Level predictions (or equivalents), the tutors’ reference, and the UCAS Personal Statement. We then shortlist the strongest candidates. Most shortlisted candidates are then invited to an online interview, where applicants talk to tutors for around twenty minutes and then write a short essay. We then make our final decisions based on a combination of all of the above criteria. In some cases, students receive offers without being interviewed.'

So I wouldn't worry too much. There is a chance they are accepting without interviews, so keep a look out. I haven't heard anything back since mine

I really hope so - thank you for your response! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you as well

How did it go? Did you get offers?
