Does anyone have cardiff interview tips? My interview is coming up in a few days and i'm nervous !

Hi,

Congratulations on getting an interview :smile:
If you have done your research on common topics Cardiff covers in their interview and have written down bullet points for common questions you should be fine! You don't want to rehearse your answers too much as you could sound robotic and if you get a question that's worded a bit differently you could freeze. However by having a general idea of what you'd say, you can adapt your points to whatever question they ask you.
Try to have a good night sleep and a nice meal before your interview so you'll be relaxed during it. Remember to smile, look at the camera and have fun!
If you want extra information and tips on Cardiff interview, check out our blog here :smile:

Mid March last year. Interviews end on 15th Feb and offers/rejections a month later, after they’ve scored, considered and ranked all interviewees. Last year offers care out first and then rejections later.

nope it's just a video that all the applicants watch after being interviewed, showing what the Cardiff C21 course is like

Thank you @user_2022 for the message
I think Cardiff also operate a waiting list which might be more use this year given exams etc.

People who have emailed the admissions email address about alternative offers, how long did they take to reply to you?

They would send a separate email with the zoom link
For those that recieved an alternative offer when did the admissions team get back to you, because they emailed me saying that I should email them by 9th February, and I emailed a while back and still haven’t received a reply and today is the due date? Is anyone else in the same position as me?

Yeah I emailed on the 29th of Jan and haven't heard anything. I'm considering phoning them tomorrow
