Also another piece of advice is that if you don't know the answer to something then admit it, they like honesty :smile:

Just be yourself, I'm naturally a joker so I made them laugh more to put myself at ease, once that happened I relaxed.....I'm still bouncing off the ceilings and I received the email in the morning! as a reapplicant this has been a long time in the offing :L

Do you know if Cardiff is going to send out other interviews before Christmas?

I had an invitation to an interview last week for the end of January so I think they'll probably continue interviewing then :smile:

I'm not sure to be honest but with January exams I don't think they'll be doing many interviews until the end of January :smile:

I haven't been sent out even an invitation to interview.. Should I realistically be getting worried that I'm gonna be rejected? I've had 1 interview already and have another for Jan 30th!
:frown:

grats to all those with offers
