Queens and UU Social work applicants 2015

Yes they are still interviewing. Right up until end of this month. So the competition is so high. I know I'm really sore on myself aswell some would say negative lol but I jus dont think going on my interview I have got a score of over 50 which is what I reckon that we'd need to secure a place. Who knows tho..

Shouldn't be much longer till we all start to hear one way or another! There's only 8 part time spaces so gonna be very tough for me to get one. Hope everyone gets in some where after all this lol

I feel really upset because I know I didn't use my interview to impress them or show them what I know and how much I want it. I wasted a golden opportunity . But In speaking to a girl on this I realised it's not the end of the road if I don't get a place because even tho some of us r mature students it's never too late. So I'm going to keep applying. I feel so anxious over all this

They're still interviewing, I did mine with Queens yesterday. It's really hard to tell how well you've done. They told me it would be 7th May before anyone found out. It's going to feel like a long wait!!!

Ellie, I would have filled it out but I read that you want people who are currently enrolled in a social work programme? We aren't enrolled just hopefulls haha! So I don't know whether you want us to fill it out?

Hi Maria
Just saw your response now - yes, we changed it to include students and possible students.

Kind regards,
Ellie

That's great u have so much experience I don't really have any I was a witness service volunteer for victim support which was very interesting and I liked being able to support ppl. And I was working full time as a paralegal so I picked up a lot of knowledge there as it was mainly family and childrens cases so I would have liaised with social workers I got a good insight into what they do . If I apply next year I'm going to try and get some experience with fasa or another organisation . 7th may ..... Will be a long 3 weeks 😳
