Optometry 2020 Entry

what type of interviews do these unis have???????????? like a panel interview or a one to one interview?

What were your predicted grades if you don’t mind me asking?

The Manchester interview is very well organised and its a really fun day out. You get asked the simple questions like Why optom, why manchester and it'll be based on your personal statement. My interviewer had mine highlighted.
In terms of the interview day itself, we simply go in and get separated into groups where third and second year students lead the group. We got a talk from the head of Optometry who explains the course, got a tour of the university and the Optometry building. Got shown some clinical parts of Optometry like the slit lamp etc and it’s honestly so helpful and I think it just helps you decide if Optometry is a good choice for you.

wow thank u! so worried, still haven’t got any offers back as i just sent it off but hoping for an interview from manchester, what were your predicted grades if u don’t mind me asking? also do they give you an offer after the interview or do you have to wait a couple of days?

ok update, got offers from bradford and city university of london they were so quick!!

Congratulations!! That’s amazing, if you don’t mind me asking what are your stats ?

Aww congratulations on your offers, i was predicted 3 A* and already had done an Alevel in my high school and got an A. But i know people who were accepted with predicted grades of AAB.

thank you! and by stats what do you mean specifically?

That’s great! What were your subjects?
I haven’t got an offer from Bradford yet, but I think it’s because I don’t have biology.

Your GCSEs and predicted if you don’t mind me asking!

thank you! my subjects are bio, chem and history
what are your subjects?

Maths, further maths and chemistry. I was predicted an A in chemistry and got an A* in maths last year. I have relevant work experience so the only reason I can think of for not having an offer is biology.

Don’t do it!
