I’m panicking that I haven’t head anything yet

They could be taking longer because of the extended deadline of UCAS apllicants too keep in mind :smile:

I'm so nervous for it! Currently just trying to get all my ideas together to make the presentation, just a work in progress at the moment!

Good luck with your preparations!

Good luck to you too!

I have some makeshift notes it's just stressful trying to find time where I can form them into brief notes without going overboard on information.

I totally get that! I have so much work for A-levels as well, its difficult to find the time to properly spend on it.

Hi I’m not sure if u applied to st Mary’s or not although I just wanted to let u know I am also hoping to get to stran but I applied to st Mary’s as a backup as it doesn’t take up any of my ucas choices and it’s applied for directly through the college, I recieved an offer for John moores and I’m thinking of putting it as my insurance if I am to get an offer for stran but u also have until august to make a decision on st Mary’s so if u get to the end and think going away isn’t for u, then there is always that option xx

I haven't applied to st mary's as I don't think they have early years courses rather than full-on teaching as id rather be classroom assistant first then see if teaching stands out to me or not. Plus I used 3 of my 5 choices to be universities in England which they have accepted me which I'm grateful however Travel is the issue. I have applied for Stran and Omagh South West College both for same degree but omagh SWC has a foundation year included xx

Thank you! I reckon we could hear from Stran by late March or April.

I waffled too - I wouldn't worry as long as you kept to the time and answered the questions - you should be 100%, Well done! x

Well done for doing the interview, I'm hoping they don't take too long for responses too!
