The wait is agonising! Did my interview a couple of weeks ago and I have no idea how well I did. I've got 2 other offers (and their deposit deadline is this Friday) so I honestly hope they'll give me an offer (or at least let me know I've been rejected soon)! Anyone knows if they review applications in batches?

I had 7 questions, 3 based on why I feel like I'm fit for the course, background and motivation, 1 written one (write a 500 word follow up email in 5 min), and 3 mathematic based questions. You've got 30sec-1min to think and then about 2 min to answer.

Good luck!

The last one was, they were talking about logarithms which probably doesn’t seem too difficult for a lot of people, but I’m coming from an international business background and my course only requires basic maths. The other 2 questions were probability questions.

I'm coming from an international business background too! That's why I'm particularly worried about Economics and Maths related types of questions haha

Thanks a lot for your help! Hope you'll hear back soon!

I honestly don't know! I did my interview 14 weeks ago and I still have no answer yet! I know my case may be daunting!

One last question: are we allowed to use a calculator?

They don’t say, but I can guarantee that you won’t have enough time to insert the data. They just want to test you and see how you “think on your feet”. The question I had was:

John goes to a coffee shop every morning before work. There’s a 50% he gets a coffee and there’s a 20% probability he gets a cookie. What is the probability he will get both?
