PGCE 2014 Applications (NOT FOR SPECIFIC INTERVIEW TASK DISCUSSIONS)

I know some people who have interviews, but they're all at Hull for an undergrad degree in Education and they were told they were guaranteed an interview.

Rejected without interview from everywhere I applied, feel pretty crappy right now, not sure if it's even worth applying for apply 2.

Thankyou! I've just heard I've got an interview at Hull Uni on 22nd Jan.

I had my interview there in December and got an offer-I got my group making paper butterlies out of origami paper and pipe cleaners so it can be literally anything! doesnt have to be academic at all they were all so different. good luck!

hi guys...u all are receiving calls for the interviews..good luck to all...m waiting for something to come up hopefully.

just a quick question,can anyone tell me how long before do they inform us about the interview date so that we can get some time to prepare for presentation and stuff?? can we change the date if we are unavailable for some reason?? do we have to face a group discussion as well??

Hi, i have been doing the practice literacy and numeracy tests online and i know that on the literacy it says pass or fail but on the maths it just brings up all the questions you got correct or incorrect. how do you know if you pass?

I have been rejected from 2 out of my 3 choices for Primary PGCE. Although, my application clearly states that I have the relevant experience of 3 years and running for volunteering in a Primary school. My enthusiasm and passion for the love of teaching is in me and concisely expressed on my personal statement too. However, this doesn't seem to be enough for institutions.

My self-esteem and self-belief that I can become a teacher has dropped six-feet under and now I don't know whether I should continue to pursue a career that is filling my life with rejections.

Is this a sign from somewhere that is saying stop trying to pursue teaching as a career? Although, without a doubt I know I will be able to make learning and education so much fun for young people.

My persistence is running out and I don't know how much defeat I can handle anymore.

Can somebody provide some guidance?

Hiya! Hope your interview went well yesterday! not sure what to think of mine - could have gone better but could also have gone a lot worse as well. Preparing for my Leeds one tomorrow. Nerves are kicking back in! x

I'm sorry to hear that. It can be very disheartening to be rejected from courses, but the most important thing to remember is that primary is very competitive, so it doesn't mean you shouldn't be a teacher. Make sure to get feedback from both universities, and if you know teaching is what you want to go into then use your existing experience for your remaining place of Apply 2.
