Hi!
I've received an invitation as well! When is yours going to be? Mine is on the 7th of March - did not expect it to be so early!
How are you preparing for it?

Same, when did you submit your application? My interview is on the 6th of March, so we've missed each other by a hair! I've had a look through the old threads and I think I'm going to prepare a few answers, and prepare some questions of my own. How about you?

I submitted my application 3 weeks ago, what about you? Are you going to London for your interview? I'm living in Scotland atm, so I'll have mine over skype.
I was thinking the same, I also asked them if they can offer any guidance so let's see what they reply!

I applied around 3 weeks ago as well. Yeah I'm going to London for the interview! I'm really excited to visit the Anna Freud Centre :smile:

Are you applying to other unis as well?

I've applied to Groningen uni in the Netherlands, and to Humboldt uni in Berlin! I might squeeze in another application, possibly to King's college, but I'm currently working on my dissertation plus other course work so let's see if I find time for that haha
What about yourself?

Hi! I also got an invitation for interview, currently reviewing a bit of the research I'm more interested in... I had kind of forgotten about it, never thought I had a chance and was planning on going to another course at UCL. Are you guys doing any specific preparation for the interview?

Me too! I was really shocked when I got the email. Are you applying to other programmes as well? I am just preparing answers for the typical interview questions and reading up on articles. How about you, and when do you have your interview? Best of luck! :smile:

I've applied to King's as well, but my referees haven't uploaded my references which is quite frustrating!

I got accepted by UCL and kings for two courses in clinical psychology. My interview is also on the 7th! Best of luck.

Ohhh congrats that's amazing! What other course did you apply for at UCL? I also applied for the dev psychology and clinical practice msc, so I have two interviews in the same week! 😩

What course did you apply to? I was looking at the clinical neurodevelopmental sciences MSc but I am a bit unsure about the application process since it looks like some courses require a personal statement and some don't?

Wow that's so good! Good luck for your interview :smile:

Also, I was just curious of knowing if any of you are thinking about taking a gap year before doing a masters?

Yeah I applied for that course :smile:

I was also a bit confused about that, but I did submit a personal statement for my application. I think with some courses a personal statement might be optional, but it's probably best to write one anyways! I am definitely thinking about taking a gap year as the scholarship I was planning to apply for moved their deadline. Are you thinking about it as well?

I also got an interview invitation and my interview will be held tomorrow. So panic about this right now. I wish I have seen this thread earlier. How's your guys' preparation now.

I am, it all depends on what courses I get accepted on and if I can defer entry!

I hope your interview went well today! keep us posted on what they decide, who knows, we might meet in London some day :smile:

Good luck! I prepared a few classic interview questions and tried to think of what they might ask me based on my personal statement
