I requested feedback from Portsmouth, turns out I didn’t cover the NHS constitutions in enough detail and I need to work on scenario based questions🙈

Aww bless u, at least they gave you something to work with. Now you know what you need to do for next time & with other unis xx

Yes it’s devastating but also reassuring because I can work on my weak points before the next interview.
How’s your application process going so far? xx

Just stay positive, you will get through.x
I haven’t heard back from Portsmouth, Essex & Teesside after my interviews back in December & January. Nothing at all from Cardiff or Kings. I was rejected by LSBU and Sheffield x

That’s still pretty good, as no news is usually good news. seven universities is a nice way to keep your options open too.
How was your LSBU interview? I’ve been offered one and I’m kind of worried as they rejected me twice by mistake x

LSBU was hard, not gonna lie! It felt like a job interview and was intense! they rejected me twice and updated my ucas but then emailed yesterday saying it was a mistake so I have no idea what’s happening there. I have already crossed them off my list.

Finally heard back from Bristol! I've only been offered 1 interview date and I'm not in the country at that time, any advice on what to do? Are the interviews online? I don't want to miss out on this opportunity so I'm stressed haha

It’s online don’t worry

Received a rejection from QMUL due to "increased competition", does this mean the course is already full?

I have to be honest along with the grueling interview style I have found their administration of the application process to be really bad. Last year I was rejected and then a week later was sent enrolment information. Imagine how awful that felt when they confirmed it was an "error" - the rejection had been correct.

Oh gosh! How hard exactly? I’m really nervous now, it’s on my birthday of all days, as it seemed to be the only date available! I was hoping it would be a good present 😅
Don’t lose hope on it x

Aww don’t stress, read their article and have it printed with you. Practice scenario questions and learn the NHS values ALL of them! & quite obviously know the role of a hygienist xxx

I did apply there again this year because I thought I had just performed badly last year. I have concluded that it wasn't only that. I got a rejection around 2 weeks after interview.

I hope I was fairly diplomatic, as I am waiting to hear from other unis.

I'm still waiting on Portsmouth following interview (their window for me was until first week in March). <<< I am strongly hoping for a good outcome from here!

Also Plymouth, Cardiff, Manchester - for decisions about being offered interview.

Yep that article.

Sorry I'm not saying much.... I've been given a rap on the wrist already for discussing the LSBU specifics.
