Stirling Uni - Social work second stage task??

I sent them an additional personal statement, another reference and a 500 word essay and also attended a interview where I also had to do a written test, which went so bad!!![/QUOTE

I'm the same, I done all that for Strathclyde but never got an interview! They said if you have move than 6 months relevant experience then they go on documents alone

Yeah it's really annoying for me cos I have bang on 6 months experience lol, but it's all good quality experience! I work in residential childcare, an outreach programme for kids with disabilities and a service for young offenders and also im gonna do playscheme during the summer! That's why I'm so annoyed I never got into Cali cos I know there will be school leavers who don't have a bit of experience!

Yeah that's true, I don't understand that either! Least they offered you another course even though it's not what you would want to do, that's reassuring

I'm still holding out for uws and Strathclyde to hopefully get an offer! The girls at work did tell me Social Work is really hard to get into, there was a girl who worked with us in residential childcare and has a degree in childhood practise who still never got In😣 Doesn't fill me with much hope!

Yeah iv heard that too! That doesn't give me hope either, I got an offer for Uws but that's my last choice but it may need to be my first if I don't get in anywhere else

I am 30 have 3 kid 16,14 and 5 an nq a hnc svq3 3 years in a secure facility for the protection and education of young offenders and youngster refers from children's hearing I got a knock bk from Paisley because I don't have the correct maths grade haven't heard bk from my other 3 choices and my partner is saying I'm becoming harder to live with each Day I dont hear lol rant over

I heard back from Stirling this morning, didn't get a place on the social work degree but they offered me an unconditional for sociology and social policy! Not the news I wanted to hear but they did say I can get a career in social work with this degree so not all bad

Oh no I'm sorry to hear that I know how it feels to get an unsuccessful when you have the academic qualifications and more importantly the experience! Do you have offers from anywhere else?

I got an unsuccessful from Cali today! I am so annoyed as a lot of the applicants are school leavers with no experience and I work with social workers and service users on a regular basis! Has anyone else heard?

I know but there is so many people that apply so getting a place is hard and I knew that was going to be the case when I applied but just thankful they have offered me a place on something else. I have an offer from UWS but that's my last choice. Still to hear from Strathclyde and Cali so fingers crossed for an offer from one of them but I don't see it now

Yeah that's how I feel! I feel like because I've been rejected from one il be rejected from them all will you go to uws or do that course at Stirling?

I'm not sure, will need to look in to that course more and see how it is! Uws is a lot of travelling for me so I will need to really think about this, I have a 9 month old so the travelling could be a problem trying to get someone to look after him

Oh god yeah I don't have that issue lol I live within a half an hour train distance to Glasgow! I have my interview for uws on Wednesday so if I get in there and it's my only offer i will be going there!
