Ah I know what you mean! Thinking back on mine, I felt like I was rambling on and repeating myself but it’s the nerves isn’t it!! I’m sure they take this all into account and I’m sure you did sooo well!!🥰
Yes I had mine in December. Feels like a very long time ago now😂 but I hope I just did enough to get in 🥹

I know, I hope so 😅
December is such a long wait, kinda glad I had mine later this time round so not too long to wait, still probably going to be the longest month ever though 😂
fingers crossed for you, hopefully we get a place. I’ve applied a few times now I made it to the waiting list last year but didn’t get my place, so horrible to make it that far and still not get one xx

Wow it must be rlly competitive then, but I’ve heard this in most unis for this course anyway😭😭
My friend is a dental hygiene student at kings and apparently they had like 3000 applicants and only chose 30😵*💫

I’m manifesting it! It’s going to be your year!😁🥰
Aww bless you! I bet that was so annoying but I’m sure you’ve smashed it for this year! The fact you all to the waiting list last year is amazing. I wish they would put more spaces on the course because it’s just so competitive isn’t it!😥 Which campus have you applied to? Xx

I know I heard something crazy like this as well from my friend!!😅 she said when she applied for Essex years ago, there were something like 500 applicants and they have to get it down to 60. Must be so hard for the university as I’m sure everyone’s applications are similar and they all have a good chance but they have to be tough🥺

Ahh thank you 🥰🤞🏻
So so competitive it’s such a shame there isn’t more places.
I applied to southend, which one did you choose?
I think if you getting a waiting list place you can be sent to either. I wouldn’t mind tbh, better than not getting a place on either I guess xx

Oh definitely! I’d be so happy with either if it meant I could be a hygienist🥹😂 I applied to Southend too! It would be nice to know someone there if we both got in!😁 Where are you from and how long have you been nursing? Xxx
