Hello! Pretty cool that OP is at Lucy Cav!
Course: HSPS
A Levels: English Lit, Geog, History
Why Lucy: honestly, it was the one college (although Homerton came close) that I could picture myself at. I haven’t been able to visit yet but my research suggests it’s quiet unpretentious with a real quiet strength. of course, the history of the college as championing women’s place in education and recently opening up to everyone (I believe the college has a high proportion of state school students) was another draw..

Best of luck to everyone , hopefully a few more applicants come and join us over here on this thread :wink:

*quite lol

How many interviews have you done for your course? And any advices on NSAA prep would be appreciated :smile:

I did 2 interviews (though I was interviewed at a different college). In terms of the NSAA, I did the past papers as well as some revision of GCSE maths because a lot of the vectors and geometry don't come up on A level so I was out of practice. I sat the old spec NSAA though and I don't think the maths section is required anymore.

No idea, unfortunately. I wouldn't be too worried, though.

Hey, an email was sent from the Admissions Officer with the specific dates for each subject and they said they would give interview invites 1 week before that date :smile:

No. The email states that we will get the interview time and day a week earlier, however, they didn't state when we would know if we had one. I asked them on the 8th and the response was "as soon as possible". Did any of you get it yet?

the response they personally sent to me on when we would know was "as soon as possible" regarding HSPS, as that is what I am applying for.

They might not be able to provide an accurate date (probably not, I would say), and emailing will have no effect other than potentially slowing the admissions office down. You'll just have to be patient, I'm afraid.
