Good to hear, when are you going? Yeah it was quite an enjoyable day. Got to speak to other applicants more than the others I've been to. The interview was less relaxed than Lancaster but still wasn't a grilling

Seems ages away but its only just over a month! Good luck for it. Yeah thats very short notice lol. They were, fairy talkative too. I mentioned something to do with Rosetta & Philae when he asked me what I like about physics, because of the gravitational aspects and the mechanics. This then exposed mine and his lack of knowledge on the subject so we just started approximating how fast it might have been going, distance of Rosetta from the comet, size of them both etc. Wasn't a standard work through a calculation type thing

I know! That's worrying is I only have two weeks and four days of actually school time for prep etc. I've never done one before so I'm hoping for as much prep as possible from my teachers :frown: Oh okay, so it's completely dependant on what you talk about/what is brought up in the rest of the interview? Did you actually end up calculating anything or was is more of an explanation/approximation of what you would do?

Ah you won't need that at all just know what you've written in your statement and be prepared to talk about it. Yeah its possibly dependant on that but not sure 100% - just don't mention anything you have no idea about and you should be ok. Nah didn't really calculate anything but mine mightve been different
