Hey don't worry, I'm sure you did better than you think. Most people do come out thinking the same as you.
On a positive note, other people here used the same word 'shambles' and got an offer later so don't be too unsure of yourself.
Cheer up

I just cant believe they take this long! Nearly been 8 weeks
(( What are your stats btw?Just got a message to upload my passport post interview... In the past, what has this proved to suggest in regards to offer/rejection? Also, if anything can be read into this, when can I expect further correspondence, assuming I upload my passport tonight? (How about THAT for a formal post on tsr!!)

Not to get your hopes up or anything but it usually means you'll get an offer in a week or so
when was your interview? Posted from TSR Mobile

I'm actually feeling nervous and excited for you at the same time. It probably does mean an offer based on other people's experiences on here.
Did you upload anything pre interview?

Hi everybody, if you're wondering I called KCL today to ask about the December interviews/interview waiting time in general.
The guy said that they send offers out to strong candidates quickly, but average candidates they put in a pool to compare later on (which we already knew).
What irritated me is that he said they would finish interviewing by march and that's when we would expect to hear. I would be fine with that normally, but then they shouldn't put 2-3 weeks in the interview letter! I mean, it's been two whole months since my interview wah.

It seems to be a good sign - no one has come forward yet saying they were asked for their passport nd then got rejected so...
On the other hand, my interview was on the 16th of December.
Then, on the 9th january, I was asked to upload a copy of my passport (despite already having uploaded everything pre-interview) and did so the same day.
They got back to me on the 19th January saying they had now received my passport copy. Nd I've heard nothing since.
I thought it would mean an interview was surely on the way, bt don't expect to hear back anytime soon.
All that said, good luck!!

Just to say that my friend got asked to upload their passport and then got rejected two weeks later
so it doesn't necessarily mean you'll get an offer! But you probably will Posted from TSR Mobile

No problem! Yeah the guy said the same as well, he was all "we interview 1000 people blah" which is fair but still :/
