Although, must be said that I have no idea why they chose me or how I got it, 'cause I thought I'd done terribly... :frown:

Congratulations! Good luck. This will be my first interview, but I always thought that the hardest bit would actually be the paper.

Apparently, 40%, but seeing the number of people accepted here, it looks to be much much higher

Edit : Found the stats for last year 1103 Applied, and 496 got to interviews. That makes it about 45% for last year. Seeing as the chance of getting a scholarship was 30%, 66% of all people who go to interviews will get through

What's everyone done to prepare for the interview?? I've started to work loads on my GCSE folder because it needs to be finished before the interview but what else?? Any ideas?
Thanks

A 66% chance sounds pretty good.
The number of people accepted on this website will probably be higher due to the nature of those this website attracts.

I'm also expanding(and sorting) my GCSE folder. I'm also making another thing in my spare time, which I have had the design for for a while. After that, I will print out some of my code, and then I'm ready to go.
I will be practicing interview technique also.
Don't have long though :s-smilie:

I'm doing the same - but I'll be taking my A2 Computing Project also as I want to do software engineering.
