Ive got an interview for Mathematics tomorrow, I'm really nervous, does anyone know what kind of questions they will ask? Also is there anything specific I need to know for the interview? Also do I need to bring anything with me?

Gosh you're lucky! Well saying that, I only sent mine last Thursday so I'm being way too impatient but I reeeeally want to go to Manchester? Are you gonna firm it? I'm sure you'll get the grades :smile:

And I applied for philosophy and politics

Keep calm, they want to see the best of you and aren't there to trick you / catch you out. TBH half the interviews Manchester does are non-selective anyway.

We can't give you specific interview questions, but I would suggest that you think up answers to the standard ones such as 'why Manchester', 'why maths', and 'what do you particularly like about the maths course at Manchester' (hint: go and have a look at the modules on offer and find something about them that you like).

Mine was sent last tuesday but I've been frantically checking my emails since then, I know how you feel :tongue:

I don't think I will firm it because I enamoured with KCL (I'm praying for an offer) and I live about 20 minutes away from Manchester, I think it will be my insurance though. Ah well I hope you get an offer, I'm sure you will :smile:

If you have any questions about the city of Manchester then feel free to ask me, I know it really well!

I've tried to make myself forget about it in the hopes that I'll suddenly be surprised by an offer, and that has only happened once so far with Hull :L
Good luck with kings, I'm sure you'll get an offer :smile:

what are the grade requirements for it? Ok thanks, I can't think of any now but when I do, I'll ask :smile:

I would say "as I live in London you can ask me anything", but the few things I know about my city are: 1)Londoners are rude
2)everything is expensive
3) WEST END SHOPPING <3
Yep that's all my helpful advise :P good luck with kings and let me know WHEN you get your offer?

This was my first offer, I hope we get an abundance of them now :tongue:

Thank you! AAB, I applied for religion, philosophy and ethics at King's though, straight philosophy is AAA.
Hahahaha. You'll love Manchester then. Generally speaking, people are friendly and random conversations happen quite a lot and as it's up north, everything is cheaper! I love shopping in London but I doubt I will be doing much shopping when I'm at uni, I'll be poor :rolleyes:

I shall do IF I get one, I'm trying to prepare myself for rejection :colondollar:

Let me know when Manchester get back to you!!

Anyone heard anything for Law yet? They seem to be taking their sweet time about it this year; on last year's offers page they were giving them out as early as October 25th!

Well I just got my offer made official yesterday (for Origami Bullets' benefit, as well as your own), so that'd be 6 days from last Wednesday (when my interview was). Offer was AAA in biology, chemistry and maths.

Thanks a lot :smile:

The interview went well, you were right lol nothing to stress about, very relaxed.

I'm applying for computer science.
I got an interview this Tuesday but I don't know whether it will be a formal or informal interview.
Will I be assessed base on my performance at the interview?
And will there be a test I need to sit on?
