Yeah those who are younger than me in my class weren't able to do what I was doing during placement so I guess I was quite lucky. Yeah I can imagine that doing a placement at a hospital would be very different! I did look into it but was told that not many would accept me to do my placement there and that I wouldn't have much to do! Hopefully it will get better for you! I think this whole uni process as added stress to this year as well! Fingers crossed for you that you achieve your target grades :smile: Pretty far, I think it's about four ish hours by train, what about you?


Thankyou! I hope you get your grades too, and yes the uni process has caused added stress I will be so thankful when all the interviews are over and can relax over the summer! Wow that's a long way! it only takes me around 45 mins to get to bournmouth from where I am so not too bad :smile:

I got an offer last week.
What feedback did you get from them?
Did you get to interview? Don't let a rejection get you down! Where else have you applied?


That they had limited places and it was such a competitive course, that's all they said. No they didn't even give me an interview :frown:
I feel like all my other ones are going to say the same thing. I applied for East Anglia, Oxford Brookes, City of London and Southbank.

Congrats on your offer, thats amazing!

I thought I'd get rejected from all mine cos the first was a rejection but gotten 3 interviews since, so don't worry too much!

Hello sorry to bother you. West London is also my last choice remaining. How was the maths and English?


This is my only option left T.T if not I have to try from extras and clearing, hope it goes smooth :frown:

Maths and English are pretty easy as you get to use the calculator, they're all basic maths questions like add, subtract, multiply, fractions and percentages. For english it's like essay based, you have to choose one scenarios from the 2 and explain what you would do, you basically show how you'd demonstrate 6C's. Good luck even tho it's your last choice haha :smile:
