hey! Out of interest what were everyone's TRPR interviews like? Mine were really focused on why I wanted to do the subject and what makes a good theologian and my views weren't really challenged - just wondering if it's the interviewers/college I had or if this was the same for everyone? Also good luck to everyone for next Thursday! No matter the outcome, all we can do is be proud of ourselves for getting this far :smile:

Did everyone get the same reading? It was way longer than I thought it would be 😭 they definitely challenged a few of the things in my personal statement and asked generally about my views on things

I don't know if I can say the one I got on here for privacy reasons and whatnot but it was about 3 pages with 3 questions following. What college did you apply for and how did your interview go generally? xx
