PGCE 2014 Applications (NOT FOR SPECIFIC INTERVIEW TASK DISCUSSIONS)

was it for primary?

Hey guys... I've got a terrible case of the fear.

I applied for PGCE history in IoE London, Exeter and Bristol. My primary referee (my old thesis supervisor) filled out the reference on the night of my application. But my secondary referee has yet to do it!! She has promised she will do it tomorrow morning first thing. I teach English as a foreign language abroad and she is my boss. I had no idea interviews were already happening until I read this forum. Am I totally screwed or what? Even if I send it off tomorrow it looks like a lot of courses will have closed?

I finished UNI in 2010. I really want to do this course but now I feel that I've been screwed over by this referee.

I had exactly the same thing, my secondary reference was late so I only sent my application off today. I'm applying for secondary English which is similarly competitive so hopefully we're not too late. To be honest I doubt many courses have fully closed yet, UCAS has only been open for two weeks so as far as I'm aware we should be ok.

UCAS says after you apply that:
"I both apply 1 and apply 2 you have 10 working days to reply to any offers you've got. In apply 1, the 10 working days starts when you've had a decision from all your choices"

Does that mean that if, under the decision column 2 unis offer me an interview, but 1 uni has already interviewed me and offered me a place that the 10 days begin from then. Or does it mean that it will wait until all after all interviews when all 3 unis have offered you a place/declined you? I'm worrying because Worcester have offered me an interview 15th January, but if the other unis offer me an interview before xmas and then give me an offer, will I then only have 10 days to accept/decline this offer from then? I.e. I would have to pick whether or not to accept it before the Worcester interview, when Worcester is my first choice, but I wouldn't want to turn down an offer in case I didn't get another... I'm just a bit confused with the wording... Thanks

I would give a little bit of time to brainstorm/note down a few ideas for whatever you have to do. Literally just half an hour or something, or even jot things down in bed before you go to sleep. And then you can focus on the essays, get them done and hopefully when you've finished your mind will have been working on the interview subconsciously! So it won't take as long to prepare.

I've applied to Christ Church, Greenwich and Middlesex. Had an interview for Christ Church a couple of hours ago. other than that, haven't heard anything from the others

The 10 days starts when you have received an offer from, or been rejected by, all three choices.

Newman College, Birmingham: Interview

Although they have got me to go through their online portal, my other choices have done so too. What was the point of UCAS then?!

Well done! I applied to both Birmingham and Newman. When did you send your application?
