Healthcare uni interviews

Hi, I'm applying to do occupational therapy and I've got my first interview next week - I was just wondering what kind of stuff to research beforehand and if any current healthcare/OT students have any tips.

Yeah I did apply for undergrad. I know I really didn’t expect and interview that quickly tbh. I applied to Cardiff, Bournemouth, Southampton, Brunel and Canterbury. Are you applying for occupational therapy too then? X

No way what a coincidence with Cardiff and Southampton! I did look at Oxford brookes as well but it wasn’t quite right for me. The interview was from Canterbury Christ church and I had it this morning. X

Hope the interview was a success, it's great you've got some practice to early in the application process!

I'm a student at BU (not OT), so if you have any questions about BU or the local area let me know :-)

That's really exciting, well done. Are you waiting on offers from the others? What are your thoughts at the moment, did you get to visit any of the uni's before Covid?
