Please email them and thank them, though you got a rejection email.


Okay, I ended up doing that anyway because it felt a little rude to just ignore it :smile:

Do they send out a rejection letter/email to overseas applicants? I've been waiting for a reply for about 2 weeks but alas, no dice :/ A rejection letter would seriously be better than this silence right now.

I hope you got a response. If not, give them a call. They are very helpful.

Yes


Any idea when it is sat? The invite listed my 3 interviews but did not mention the test. Nor did the college website. Only the university's main website mentions it but provides no further details.
