Fingers crossed for an interview but I've heard they're starting late!

Hi everyone!

Congratulations to all of you who are invited to interviews.
I recently got my invitation to an interview for HSPS at Hughes Hall.

How are you guys preparing for the interview?
Does anyone know what the test at Hughes Hall consists of? Is it the TSA or perhaps an essay?

Best of luck!

Where else did you apply?

Only one subject interview.. I am finding it quite scary
I would have felt comfortable with one more

Congratulations you too :smile:

I assume they didn't mention it on their website or in the email that you got.. I'm sorry, I have no idea what it might be. I have a comprehension exercise in addition to an interview. Maybe you should try asking them.
