Congrats! When's the date of your interview?

Oooh now getting post really will be tense times :P
Yeah, I got the letter too, mine's on the 23rd November.

It says dress smart casual, and that the interviews are only 15mins each.

It sounds quite short, then again, it might just be a formality to see if we're normal.
It does say on their website that

'If you are called for interview, though, it is because we are quite likely to offer you a place'

Interview questions can ask simple questions on Economics (what do you understand by micro/macroeconomics?), Statistics (what is the difference between randomness and uncertainty?), or Mathematics.

One question that used to stump people was that:

Given a sequence ana_n which tends to a limit aa, and an0a_n \geq 0 for all nn, explain intuitively why a0a \geq 0.

Traditionally, people who couldn't do the Mathematics questions found it hard in MMORSE.

Minesn the 23rd too! So is it mainly academic questions or just a general interview?! :smile:

I had an interview last year and am reapplying (don't ask). Just relax about the interview. I'd say the only answers you need to prepare are for questions like:

"Why Warwick?"
"Why (M)MORSE?"

As long as you don't give retarded responses, you'll be fine. I think you have a presentation before your interview anyway - and in that presentation the guy actually says to you "unless you're an axe murderer, we'll give you an offer".

So seriously, relax! And congrautulations in advance for your offer :smile:

Ok... I think this has gone far enough...

Totally Tom has been studying maths at Warwick for at least a couple of years. I'd be very worried if Narev's questions came up - I couldn't give a decent answer to the first two and the third is unfair for A-level students since they haven't learnt what a limit is.

That's implying that they only give offers to axe murderers?

Sorry, I meant unless they were axe murderers :tongue:. Let me edit that :rolleyes:.

Is this for real, this goes against everything else I've read on here about Morse interviews.
