Hey, anybody got their interview at leicester on the 3rd of Feb???

Tenth. Anyone else for the 10th? Aaaaanyone?

I'd cry if mine was on the third cos my Aberdeen one is that day

Can I just ask what your UKCAT score was, because you're gcse's are almost exactly the same as mine and your AS grades are the same as mine, yet I've been rejected by 2 unis. I know ps counts aswell, but I was just wondering what effect the UKCAT had?

TY

Yeh, lol I got a slightly higher UKCAT score of 625 lol. Admissions is a ghost. Did you really do 14 hour shifts at a volunteer centre, and not get paid?

Got up at 7, was on duty 'til 11 (sometimes later depending how long it took for the guests to go to bed) depending on the schedule. You stayed there overnight though. Some days it wasn't as hectic. You'd be given one hour as a "break" in between but the center was so far from civilisation and the rooms were so bare that you may as well just stay on duty, so I did most days. They weren't amazingly hard shifts but they get harder the more duties you get which are given to the longer term volunteers/volunteers who go there often, and over 18s. Tiring but it was good. (charity was called Vitalise)

How did you know that?

Vitalise is amazing
I went there!

Yay! Which one did you go to?

Planning to go back? I think I might go this summer, I'm quite excited.

Jubilee lodge, what about you?
Everyone says jubilee is the best muhahah :P

Yup same I want to go back in the summer after exams when all the kids are still on holidays because it gets really busy in the summer holidays

Try and book really early though because it gets so competitive!

mee.

Sandpipers. Not sure whether to go back to the same one or not, heh. We had some lovely people there but unfortunately one of the guests was quite aggressive at some points because she got frustrated when people didn't understand her and hit this german girl for being cheeky. Put me off going back to the same one
Plus, it really was in the middle of nowhere! we decided to go and get some drinks from the shop when it was our break once, it was a 25 minute walk to the nearest convenience shop! By the time we got back we only had 10 minutes to drink our fizzy vimto.
