Hi, I will have mine in next week. Could you tell me, did you have to write an essay during interview? I am little confused by that. I know that there was one in last years.
Thanks

Hiya, no we didn't! I thought we would because they said at the open day that we would have to but there's no essay :smile:

I had an interview for Kings College on 2nd March and they said I should hear within 3 weeks however it's been over 3 weeks now, should I contact them?

Hi,

I don't know if you've now heard from them in the last 6 days but I waited over 3 weeks for their response too. I sent them an email but they then gave me an offer in the next few days. I'm sure you'll hear back in the next few days

Anyone already have their entry test and interview for surrey yet? if yes then how hard was the test? and how was the interview?

I don't know if you've already had the test/interview now since you posted but I thought that the Maths and English were really easy compared to others- just simple addition, multiplication etc and I think it was only 4 or 5 out of 10 to pass then the English was a simple q e.g. describe your journey there

The interview was an MMI, 6 station for 4/5 mins each- many were scenarios or questions all related to why you want to do nursing- this was also ok if you just say what you feel

Oh no really? :frown:

least they are giving you another chance I guess, did they not give feedback on what scores so you can practise before hand? are you going to resit the day? good luck if you are!! :smile:

They gave me an offer on tuesday but so did Surrey which is my top choice so I firmed Surrey and put CCCU as my insurance :smile:

What stood out at Surrey to you? As I'm stuck between Surrey and Southampton

Hi, wondering if anyone here has been excepted into Swansea uni for child nursing this September? So far only found one other but hoping with UCAS deadline date for uni handing out offers there will be more😊

Yes, they replied to my email saying they will reply as soon as possible. So I think I'm going to wait till the end of the week and hopefully they will have responded by then. Well done on the offer by the way!

Is it just a group discussion then?

Yeah, there's other things you do during the day but the actual interview is just the group part. I actually enjoyed the group interview a lot more than I thought I would! X

Are the other things difficult?

No there's just like library tour and clinical skills area tour, there's a 'individual interview' but it's not an interview, she just asks you about your qualifications and what your conditions would be if you'd get a conditional. Then while you're waiting they give you a booklet and a piece of paper and you have to look through the book and answer the questions, it's easy though haha!

Like what they expect you to get or what you have been predicted to get?
