My friend applied the same course as you. Are you from China 'cause I saw your surname ZHAO. By the way, how long was your interview, and did they say anything after the interview? thx :smile:

Mine was not very long at all it was about 15 min but the one before me had 25 min
interviewer told me clearly that they will make me an offer after interview

I am not worried about the academic questions at all, but the general questions such as how do you like this course or why do you choose it, dont know how to make them happy by answering the sort of questions... :s-smilie:

think of it this way - they're sending out the invites now, it can't be too long! (I hope.) from what I've seen (I think) worcester seems to send its interviews out with a lot of the other colleges. it's st edmund hall that takes ages, (that might have to do with the fact that they're so few applicants to there... :p:

)

haha

You might actually hear before everybody else :biggrin:

you never know!

I hope so!
I almost applied to St edmund hall.
But then again, I almost applied to Exeter (SO Close!), which is the college that gave the above interview...

Having few applicants to your college is good! :wink:

Worcester has 3 applicants- just on this thread! :woo:

maybe... frankly, I don't care whether I hear before, with or after.. just as long as it's sooon!!!

why did you choose worcester then?... what put you off st edmund hall? (I want to know because I randomly chose it [12 places for engineering :p:

])

it is good...but it also makes me feel lonely! :frown:

sorry.... that must suck. :s-smilie:

just out of curiosity though, what type of engineering did you apply for? and what were your GCSE grades and predicted grades?

Just straight up engineering sciences.
Predicted: AAAA
GCSE: 4A*, 6A, 2B.
Thought it was good enough for an interview but never mind.
Good luck to all those who don't know yet. Looks like you will need it this year.

I wasn't put off SEH specifically... I almost applied to trinity, exeter, Balliol and 2 other colleges :biggrin:

For Worcester, it was pure(ish) impulse... and the fact that its pretty :smile:

oh, and the ducks :yep:

and its pretty big, so my kind of place :biggrin:

even though it only has 5/6 places!! :eek:

but I think thats pretty standard :yes:

Yes I know, fairly superficial reasons, but I figured Engineering is taught the same everywhere so.... :biggrin:

Edit: I don't think you'll need to worry about the lack of applicants on TSR for SEH :smile:

I have a feeling that there are gonna be HUGE number of applicants for every college :biggrin:

Obviously! :smile:
