Ah, I remember. I kind of made a guess from your username haha. You did great too!! I think we got a harder topic than the group that went before us but you all made some really good points too still.

I am not sure if you are able to answer/let us know this question but I have been wondering this for quite a while: Do the Southampton interviews ever consist of obscure questions such as ones they ask in Oxbridge for instance?


They tend to stick to your PS but they can ask anything.

Does anyone know they score it exactly? Thought i did really well in the panel but not so well in the group task.


50/50 group task and interview.
Scored on various thing, most likely the non-academic entry requirements that are in the prospectus.
I had my interview today and honestly I don't know how it has gone. My interviewers gave no expression nor did they react to anything I said, I am not sure if this is an indication of whether I did bad or if they just cannot say anything? :s-smilie:

They may well have tried to remain neutral. Don't read into it. Just wait and see :yes:

Were they interested?! Did they ask pertinant questions about what you said?

Hi, how are candidates treated post interview? Are offers based solely on the interview score or academic abilities too?

Have any graduates applying for this course heard anything/received interviews ?
Thanks in advance!

Interview really. They're not bothered about academics as long as you meet the minimum.

Mine were really interested, which I think led to my offer. But I also know a guy from the same interview who said that his interviewers didn't look interested and he also recieved an offer.
My panel seemed like it went well and I felt the group task was decent but could have been better I guess. It was a really chilled and nice environment tho. Really calm interview to be honest... Good luck for the rest of you :smile:
does anyone know if they like to ask a lot of questions on personal statement or is it just general stuff??

Both.
you should be prepared for everything. Must read your PS again!

Just rung; they said that they send interview invites about two weeks prior to the date so grads we can expect to be invited at the end of Feb
Does anyone know when they will start sending offers out?
Has anyone got offers yet? My interview was 31st Jan
