A little nervous of course 😬 but I think it'll be really good. Plus, I might be able to meet some Sheffielders. Are you going to Birmingham tomorrow?

@Kaneki AmanoGood! I feel the same. I am a little worried about the role play exercise just because I have no idea what to expect but I hope the assessors are friendly enough that I can open up! And yes I am going to Birmingham tomorrow!! Uni of Sheff too as a matter of fact! What course are you applying for? I'm applying for English.

Woah 😯 I'm a little worried too but according to Philippa it's quite easy, you just need to make sure you have clear rationale behind what you decide to do. One sec, I'll DM you instead of clogging this thread

Hi, anyone at the Birmingham Assessment Centre please can you message me? You were all so lovely and I only got one person's social media because everyone was split up at the end :frown:

Hope it went well!

Assessment centres run all the way into August so don't worry too much. You should get a response from them after 2/3 weeks or so

Got my rejection yesterday. The interview was bizarre. Only lasted 18 mins. Questions asked were very generic.

It started with a lot of eligibility questions.

"Why Lloyds?"

"What are you hoping to get out of this program?"

"What aspects of this program do you like best?"

"What are you hoping to get out of your relationship with your mentor?"

"How would you approach this?" I have no idea what this question means. When I asked her to elaborate she repeated the question verbatim.

"The program has a requirement of volunteering, what do you think about this?"

When was your assessment day if you don't mind me asking?
