I think the last day of interviews is this Thursday.

I did mine last Tuesday (30 April) and they said I would know the outcome in 2 to 3 weeks, so 1 to 2 weeks from now.

Yes, if you would like to do your placement outside the UK/Ireland then it is your responsibility to find it... But I think they will get back to us on that if we have a high enough score after interview. So, unless they told you otherwise, you still have 1-2 weeks to figure it out.

Is the outcome based solely on the interview score is that score combined with the application score?
It's combined. 😉
(Not sure if it all counts the same, though, I don't think they disclose the relative weights)

Yes, I really am. 🤯

Does anyone know if they usually have a waiting list for unsuccessful applicants? (Just wondering whether places may become available from people choosing to accept positions in other programmes)

Yes, up to around 2 weeks at this point (but, as interviews end tomorrow, we may well know sooner).

I was just wondering if I could still have some hope in case I get bad news, that's all. 😋

yep lets c. as Glasgow interviews are also lined up so your point is pretty valid here. I had asked admission team and they asked to wait for a week

10 interviews between now and the start of the decision making process!
I would be surprised if they didn't have a shortlist, there is the NHS program and Glasgow that people may have also applied for.

Oh alright. I have no clue of that. Yes that is why I am wondering if decision will get delayed.

No, I only applied to Cardiff. At this point in my life I would prefer the part-time, distance learning structure. Also, the Entry Requirements from Glasgow appeared to be quite specific in terms of background degrees (at least from what they have on their website), and I didn't feel I was a good match.
