Hello
I am about to send my UCAS application.
Have sorted out the following choices:
KCL
Bradford
Keele
Brighton/Coventry
Robert Gordon
I have been predicted AAB

Is there anyone applying for RGU as well? Wish to know more about the uni.

Have Man Met started giving offers? I haven't heard anyone get one yet.

Also, Liverpool have been giving out interviews and rejections for about 3 weeks now.

Good luck! I've had an interview with them, but I don't know if they've started giving out offers yet.

Hey! I've just sent off my UCAS form finally near to the end of last week. Got 4/5 confirmation emails straight away and was wondering how long it takes for unis to start offering interviews or getting back to me? :smile:

Depends on the uni! I heard from my first 3 weeks after applying, 2nd after 4 weeks and I'm currently on 6 weeks and I still have 3 to hear from.

Got a rejection from Liverpool today but I've got no idea why

Did it not give you a bit of info on UCAS I got a rejection from them yesterday, and it said 'Insufficient evidence of relevant work experience or weak account of work experience in your personal statement.' which hasn't really given me much hope for other unis I've applied for but I don't know whether this means I don't have enough work experience or I didn't write about it well in my personal statement

Don't worry about it. Liverpool give unsubstantiated reasons for rejection for everyone I've spoken to/met who has been rejected by them. There seems to be a common theme of 'Insufficient evidence of relevant work experience or weak account of work experience in your personal statement' - and they give that reason to people who have strong work experience and excellent statements.

They must be oversubscribed so they just dish out generic rejections. I e-mailed them for more info on my rejection and they refused to divulge anything. Since their rejection I've had interviews from my other choices - so do not worry, a rejection from Liverpool is not reflective of the quality of your application. I met someone at one of my interviews who said that they give places based on random selection, I don't know where they got that information from but it wouldn't surprise me because they reject a lot of top quality applicants.

Focus on your other choices, you'll be fine.

Has anyone heard anything from York St John or UCLAN? I've had acknowledgement of my application, but nothing more for weeks now!

Can I just check if you have to take a numeracy and literacy test at all physiotherapy interviews? I'm sure I read that you do and I know those applying for nursing do ... But can't find any reference to it on the university websites?? Also I'm sure there is a fitness test too? Cheers in advance X

If you get an interview, they should specify if you need to do any tests on the day. For one of mine, I didn't know I had to do one until they sent a detailed email. But for the others, they haven't mentioned anything about it. I'm not entirely sure if every uni does tests :/

Um... a fitness test?? What?? I heard they might do some sort of fitness evaluation at the start of the course but not beforehand, I don't think. Where did you hear that?

Good luck with your application :smile:

Not all of them do Maths and English tests. They should email you to tell you if you have them, if in doubt then ask then. Never heard anything about fitness tests.
