Applying to Midwifery 2019!

I'm applying this year for Sept 2019 entry too. Terri I'm similar to you and pinning all my hopes on one uni too (also in Scotland!), I've never applied for Midwifery before and I'm so impatient/excite/nervous to apply and hear back but I'm holding off until I've completed a bit more work / volunteering experience, eeek! x

Aw it totally is! I’m sure I didn’t feel this strongly when I applied for uni while I was still at school haha! I’m applying to Napier, it’s the only commutable distance for me. I’m starting my training tomorrow to volunteer with home startup be a befriended for families needing some extra support, I’ve got hospital and community work experience lined up for October and I’ve contacted my local NCT to see if I can help out at any breastfeeding or antenatal groups so fingers crossed it’s enough!! Are you getting anyone to read over your personal statement before you apply? X

Oh that sounds like fab experience! I’m sure it’ll defo make your application stand out. Yeh me too lol! First time applying to uni I was much calmer than I am now! Probably because at the time I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my life so I just picked something whereas now I’m so sure about this. I’ve just completed my breastfeeding peer support training with NCT and I absolutely loved it. I want someone to read it overcbut I don’t really know anyone who I think could help me lol 🤔 r you getting someone to read urs over? X

Aw that sounds fab! I looked at their breastfeeding counsellor course but I hadn’t realised it was a full time uni thing! The peer support role sounds great!! I’m hoping to but I’m not really sure who to ask, my friends mum used to be a midwife so I might ask her and I might see if my dad will proof read for spelling/grammar but I’m not sure if they’d be willing / the right people for the job.

I applied to UWE and i sent mine 10th Sept and i'm dying to hear back, it's been a long old month! I think mine is with the programme leaders so i should hear back any time now if i have an interview. Have you applied before or is this your first cycle?

Ahh yes the wait is awful. No doubt you should hear back soon if it is with the programme leaders!

I actually started a midwifery degree 2014 but left in the first week as I found out I was pregnant with my second and they did not let me defer. So not my first cycle but it has been a few years since I went through this process of applying, waiting for responses etc...

How about you? And is it just the one uni you applied for?

I have a pre-selection day at Greenwich next week. Seems to just be numeracy test and presentation programme, then if passed an invite to interview.

Greenwich is my first choice so very excited but nervous for maths. Haven't done maths since secondary school over 11 years ago... need to try and cram some revision over the next week.

Anyone else with Greenwich as a first choice?

Hi guys, my UCAS got sent off last Friday and I have already been asked to interviews from Surrey and Hertfordshire
university in November and Anglia Ruskin university in December. Do a high percentage of applicants get interviews or is it normal for a wide range of people to get interviews for midwifery? I am very very nervous and any advice would be very appreciated right not haha. Has anyone else got any interviews/offers yet? xoxo
