UCL interview

For mechanical engineering.

"This offer is subject to you obtaining

See also a letter sent by the institution

You must attend the Department's Introductory Day, about which the Department
will contact you
shortly."

UCL have already given me a conditional offer, but they say there will be an interview on the open day and that i must attend this.

how formal will this be? what shall i wear? should i prepare myself thoroughly? can they reject me if i mess up in the interview?

i may be getting slightly paranoid? :no:

Well, I'm not a Mech Eng student, but I can tell you that if they have already offered you a place, they cannot rescind it.

I'm sure you won't mess up in the interview though. Wear casual-formal clothes, for example I wore a blazer, casual shirt and school-type trousers.

Good luck :smile:

It's not really good form to do that, no. Do you have a problem getting there or something?

Whereabouts are you coming from? I'd leave plenty of time for the train; for example I used to live 2 hours away on the train from UCL, and my interview was in the afternoon. I left at 8.30 am, got there at 10.30 am and spent the morning "Londoning around". It was fun. :biggrin:

I'd say go earlier, and leave yourself bags of time.

Fair 'nuff. That's fairly easy, just hop on the Thameslink to St Pancras, should take about 20-30 minutes. I'd leave about two to three hours before your interview/open day starts, unless it's in the middle of the morning (i.e. 9am).

To the best of knowledge - based on the feed back from other kids last year - open day is just a formality. You just show up - and so would be many others and your place is confirmed. Obviously if you are not serious about the place - incase you have other preferred choices - then you will not waste time visiting and hence NO confirmation. :smile:
