Next Friday!! Really not a lot of time to prepare, especially since I have interviews for other courses this week and next week too, panic stations!

Hope the rest of you hear soon but don't be worried if you don't, as lillysitt says there is no rhyme or reason to it, some people had their storytelling in Feb & their interview in March, some people had both over by Jan!

I am very jealous of you guys! Good luck though to both of you!! Did your online application change? When did you both submit your application if you don't mind me asking.

I know you said not to worry about it cmca86, it's just hard not to when it's your dream and other people are hearing back which makes me wonder what it means that I didn't lol.

Again, good luck to both of you!!

I submitted mine a couple of days after it opened, beginning of October if I remember correctly?

Coleraine don't change the online status, they contact you directly, it was by letter last year but email this year! my online status has never changed.

Honestly dont worry. I hope you hear soon!

Oh flip lillysitt your Dec sounds as stressful as mine lol. I have loads of stuff on with work & home & church mixed in with these interviews including my son's 6th birthday - also might need to try to fit a day of observation in a secondary school which obv needs childcare!!

Interview in Coleraine is at 2pm, you?

I applied around the 17th or 18th Oct Coffee I think, but really that doesn't matter, there's no order in the way they contact people. Good luck!

I know! I thought when I hadn't heard by about the 25th I assumed it would be Jan! I suppose it's good to get it over with before Christmas. Living in a constant state of fight or flight here lol. Have you picked your story yet? I think I have but not sure it's as good as last year 😕 is your Manchester one a full day?

I know, it's hard not to just curl up under the covers and stay in bed all day lol! Yeah I have mine picked but I also don't know if it's as good as last year or not :frown:

but I dont have time so I'm just going with it! Yeah, Manchester is a full session from 12.30pm til about 3pm. edge hill is even longer with a group task as well!

Hey guys. I was just wondering if anyone knew where the interviews are. Mine is in G132 but i have no idea where to go once you get into the uni! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you go in the main building there's a help desk on the left and they can direct you. It's down through the double doors and you just sort of
follow it round. The corridor is labelled 'H' I think and then it turns into 'G' if you know what I mean. There were a few wee signs up as well.

How did the rest of you find the story telling? There were sooo many of us waiting on Friday :frown:

and I thought everyone seemed really well
prepared/ capable, which was disappointing/ nerve wracking lol!

I thought the story telling was nerve wrecking!! Especially not knowing how well you have done compared to everyone else! Anyone any idea when we hear back if we have gotten an interview or not?
