When you get into uni after you have got your grades they should email you all the information including a link to apply for a DBS. You have to pay for it yourself, same with the jabs. Hope that helped abit


Yes, it does thanks :smile: the health check is gona be annoying, my parents do not recall any of the jabs I've ever had :s-smilie:

And expensive! :frown: Your doctor will have a list of all the jabs you've ever had but if they were a while ago you might need boosters

when was your interview?
I've heard from Cardiff a week or so ago, with a rejection. Interview was mid February. Best of luck to everyone still waiting.

I had my interview feb 5 and still havent heard back:frown:
I'd say you're in luck as I think they tend to give the definite no's out first! Mine was the week after yours on the 12th. I did phone after a few weeks and was informed the lady who makes the decision was off sick so there was a delay in sending out offers / rejections. Good luck!

Have you offers anywhere else? Is Cardiff your first choice?

Thankyou! Yes Cardiff is my first choice and no I haven't received any offers yet so I'm a big panicky ! How about you?

But many people have heard back within a week and I still haven't so I'm kind of loosing hope and starting to accept that I'm not going to uni:frown:
Ahh I see! Sorry to hear. I'm in the same boat!

It's horrible hearing friends getting offers and reading on forums everyone's getting offers. 4 of my 5 choices have rejected me including my first choice. Just got one interview left next month but I'm not getting my hopes up about it as OT appears to be very competitive. I'm putting my hopes on getting in through clearing as my last chance, I'm not considering I won't get in at all!

How do you think your Cardiff interview went?

I underestimated the competiveness of this course- starting to accept that I won't get into uni!
I don't think it went particularly well so I don't think I'll get an offer!
Good luck for that interview where is it? Also where have you applied to? X
Oh I knew it was going to be competitive! My first choice was Plymouth, followed by Cardiff, then UWE (which is where my interview is next month) then Bournemouth and Southampton.

I found the group discussion really hard to contribute to as there was 10 of us all trying to say something. I must have contributed 10 words maybe?! And my feedback following rejection was that I didn't show good enough communication skills so assuming that's due to my lack of contribution to this group discussion. I'm worried my UWE group discussion will go in a similar way!

Where have you applied to?

Yeah, I found that there were a few dominant people in my group so I wasn't able to contribute as much as I wanted to:frown:
Oh good luck for that, I really hope we get at least one offer!! I would be over the moon!
I applied for Cardiff, UEA, Southampton, Bournemouth & Liverpool C
