could you pls let me know how it went? like what sort of activites did you do and what questions did they ask, etc. where there a lot of people our age or was it mostly older people?

I’m probably not at liberty to say what the actual activity was but I can tell you it was a group project. It’s not an interview type situation so you probably won’t be asked questions personally. Pretty much exclusively Year 13s. Wear what you like, most people turned up in casual clothes/tracksuits

I don’t think it’s a rejection ! When I went they said they’re still running 2/3 more sessions as they are still shortlisting applicants. Hopefully you’ll hear back soon- good luck!
what course did you apply for ?

At my assessment day I was told that they are running 2/3 more sessions so I wouldn't worry too much. Not heard from Manchester at all

I got that email too. But I was confused because I had already gotten an email before that inviting me to an assessment day

What sort of group activity was it? Like we’re you given scenarios to problem solve? I don’t get it

We can’t really say much, but it was just working in a group to solve a problem they set you. I’d say if you can vocalise your points effectively then you should be good .
hope that helps !
