Physics interview at Manchester

Who is going on the 22nd ?

Hey man that's really helpful, I have an interview there next week, how technical was yours? Can I ask what kind of things they asked you about, like what how much based on your personal statement, and how much about why Manchester specifically?

my mate had one and they asked him how many piano tuners there are in manchester?

Yeah, thats fine dont apologise. YEah it was brilliant, i think other unis are going to have a hard time beating it.
THe interview was ok i suppose, i was asked to intergrate a trig function, which ive never come across. So that didnt go too well.
But overall i enjoyed the day.

Where abouts from london?

I have one on the 15th too!

I am applying for Physics with Theoretical..
I am at the airport!
Do you guys know anything about Hatters? I booked a two nights room there...

Great, congratulations! Are you applying for straight Physics or something else? And are you driving there? I guess it's not too far from Sheffield.

Thanks, congrats to you too! I've applied for straight Physics MPhys, how about you? No, I'm going on the train as well and you're right, it's just under an hour to get there so it's no problem! Not as far as from London anyway
How are you preparing? I'm still not quite sure how many physics or maths questions to expect.

Thanks . Exactly the same too! Yeah I think I'll get a Virgin train, takes just over 2 hours so it could be worse.

I'm just re-reading everything I said I've read in my personal statement, plus a couple of other books. You really shouldn't worry about it, most people get few/no technical questions. From what I have read and heard pretty much everyone who has an interview gets an offer, it's just to determine the offer itself (grades etc.).

I'm more worried about not knowing anyone . Especially with this so called "buffet", sounds a bit strange!

Oh, that's alright then! Are you going on your own? All us lonely people can sit together for the buffet

And I didn't mention any specific books on purpose in my personal statement, although I do need to do reading in the subject areas I mentioned.

Anyway, I'm sure it will be fine and it's another chance to look round the university.

Yep I am. Haha good idea.

If you fancy reading something and haven't already read it then read QED by Richard Feynman, really interesting so far . Agreed, I can't wait to have a look around!

Ha, QED is on my pile of books to read Just have to get through the laws of thermodynamics and the 4% universe first!

You are at the airport RIGHT NOW?!
