I’ve got the interview soon, how was it I’m stressing

It was honestly super fun! I had my interview yesterday so they were fast with an offer. The uni should have sent a list of questions to choose from, if you're talking about manchester. I had a very sweet woman interview me, an organic tutor I think, and the interview was led almost like a lesson? She asked the question, I answered, and I came out of it feeling more educated tbh! You'll walk it, seriously. Good luck! PM me if you wanna discuss further :B

Anyone/know anyone firming BSc Chemistry at Cardiff Uni??
Original post by itslibster
strange! I got an offer for Mchem w/ industrial but only after my interview. What are you thinking for Manchester? :b

So far it's my top choice, looking to firm it and make Leeds my insurance. It's weird how I wasn't interviewed (and vaguely worrying) but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth.
I have just been invited by the University of Leeds to a technical interview for chemistry, so glad to finally hear something back from them as I applied almost 3 months ago- however, super nervous because I don't think they normal interview chem applicants, has anyone has an interview for uni of leeds? thanks
Hi, I'm applying next year, in Scotland, and was wondering if anyone got accepted without AH maths as most universities recommend it, thanks!
I got told Id Imperial are intending to give me an offer today, they haven’t specified the grades yet but im in

Hey! I got offers from all my unis, including St.Andrews, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Strathclyde, without AH Maths. In S6 I took AH Chem and Bio and two crash highers at BBBB. It's definitely possible.
I have firmed my place at the uni of Bristol, after receiving offers from Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, UCL and I withdrew from Nottingham as wasn’t really interested in going there and they were taking ages.

Is anyone worried about how hard studying chemistry at degree level is going to be ?

I've just finished my first year doing chem, although I am a mature student, I have found it extremely hard but I wouldn't do anything else. Think I cried the first semester at least 5/7 days hahhahha

No way I am a mature student too! What route did you go before the degree e.g access course or a-levels?

I did an access course-science.
However it no way prepared me for what it would be like at uni. All those on my course who did that route say we wish we’d have done the foundation year instead. Those that did have a better understanding IMO of what to expect. X

what extra curricular activities would you recommend when applying to uni

You mean to put on your statement ? I actually didn’t put any as id applied originally to go to JMU to do environmental health but even they I didn’t mention anything I did outside college and studying. Lol The thing I can advise is be honest on your statement, don’t be putting things on there that you think you should have but don’t actually do them. Don’t lie ! It’s not worth it, if you don’t do any activities then just don’t mention them rather than say you don’t do any. Xx
