Has anyone applied to University of Hull for primary? if so, have you heard anything yet?



I've applied to Hull for primary but I'm still waiting to hear from them! Are you still waiting for a response from them?
I'm still waiting for Greenwich and a school direct to get back to me, constantly checking track is getting annoying now!

So I got my first rejection today. I was kind of expecting it, my interview didn't go amazingly and places are super competitive. My nerves got the better of me and I couldn't remember a thing I had prepared. I am massively disappointed :frown:, but if I look on the bright side I did get an interview. I think there are 26 places and over 500 applied last year, so to even to get an interview... I'm just pissed off with myself for foundering during the interview. However, onwards and upwards :smile:. I had another interview yesterday and it went a hundred times better (damn you nerves). But it will take around 2 hours to get there (that's if I even get an offer).

One more interview in January....

Good luck everyone. If you do get a rejection, having a little cry or whatever, then pick yourself up, dust yourself down and try again. You WILL succeed :biggrin:. Well that's what I am telling myself :biggrin:


For you to even get an interview is epic...

I'm still waiting on the 2nd reference... People are pushing all the wrong buttons with me :frown: :mad:

Hi there,

Thank you for your motivational message!

I'm glad you're not too disheartened and your attitude is definitely the best attitude to have!

I haven't had any response yet so i'm not sure how I will feel.

Good luck with it all! x

Secondary English. I sent off my application 5/12 n havent even gotten an acknowledgement from them. It is slightly scary since they offered conditional offers to others

Has anyone else had a problem with interview clashes? All 3 of my choices have offered me interviews on the same day, and none will budge.
Any ideas of what to do? Otherwise I am essentially down to one choice!

I had two of mine that clashed next week. I emailed one yesterday and they offered to change my interview for a later date :smile:
Just recieved my information pack for my interview at Leicester next week! Even more nervous now! Got so much to research for it ready for the group discussion. On a brighter note Lincoln BGU changed my interview date to the 10th January!
Anybody else going to Leicester next week for the upper primary pgce? :smile:

Just recieved another interview for next Wednesday at Lincoln BGU for primary with maths specialsm! Unless I can change the date of one of them I have no idea whether to attend my interview at Leicester or at Lincoln.

As I want to do primary with a maths specialism Lincoln would be the interview to attend however Leicester offers the option to apply for the specialism when you have started the course so I don't know!

I still haven't heard back from BG! Beginning to worry :frown:

1) Once you have saved your referee's in the respective section, but have not sent the application form away, will your referee's get an e-mail about how to attach the reference or do you have to send it off first before they get details of how to attach it?

2) I'm still trying to perfect my PS, and it probably wont be done until next week, however I have my first QTS exams on Tuesday, can I still do the tests even though my PS (And Reference's to perhaps, see above) and thus application wont be complete? And if so what can I bring as evidence to confirm I'm applying?

Any response's will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm applying for the maths specialism so maybe that was why I heard? I don't think they've sent invites out for the 10th of January yet because they said that was the planned day :smile: Try not to worry :smile:
I applied to Durham, Sunderland and Newcastle last Thursday for Primary PGCE. Anyone heard from any of these? If so how long was it between sending your application and receiving an interview date?
