Hey guys, to anyone who has an interview, were you told the format of the interview? so for example if you will have 2 compsci interviews or 1 maths and 1 compsci?
No, just told that it is more maths than compsci in the interviews. Prepare for maths questions or something.

someone in our server said head of admissions or something said it publicly iirc
Do they tell you if you’re rejected? Does anyone know? I have heard literally nothing

yeah you should get an email from your college if you've been rejected or invited to an interview

Okay thanks I wasn’t sure if I should just accept I’ve not got one without hearing anything

What did you apply for? I think if you havent heard back now you may need to follow up on it becuase interviews have started and all.

Edit: that was a dumb question to ask LOL im assuming compsci? I would probably follow up on it asap because they have got our CTMUA results and i see no reason why they wouldn't have gotten back to you by now.

Thats brilliant my first mock interview would be tomorrow and I too would say I'm fairly confident on the content of my P.S although I feel that 90% of my interview will be maths questions or questions about the CSAT that I sat which *sad laugh* was well... interesting.
