I'm also still waiting. I submitted in January though so I guess I was expecting to wait at least 4 weeks to hear back.

Thanks for the info

Amazing , Glasgow interview is really easy and straightforward, exactly as they describe it in the email. That being said, I found it a little procedural and wasn't super inspired by the interview. Even the fact it was online was a bit dissapointing to me. Don't get me wrong, would be totally happy going there, but just waiting to see if I find Strathclyde/Edinburgh any more engaging as I'm hoping to go somewhere I really make a connection with the staff/course. How did you find Strathclyde?

I found Strathclyde amazing! It was online but that didn't bother me as I think I'd be more nervous in person. My interviewer was really nice, I think she could tell I was a little nervous as she just had some general chat to start with and it calmed me so much. If you're applying for PGDE Secondary it will be an interviewer who teaches that specific course (whereas QMU I had specialised lecturer and a guest secondary head teacher as an interviewer), so it's good to see how you get on with them. I built a really good connection with her, even though that was only in 30-40 mins, and was so excited for the course after the interview was done. I think I'll be going there because I just got a really good feeling for the course and the staff seem so lovely! I hope your interview goes well!

I got an offer from Glasgow and UWS, I withdrew from Strathclyde as I hadn't heard back and Glasgow was my first choice! I hope I have made the right decision...
Anyone else going Glasgow?

Well done that is fantastic. They obviously didn't want you sweating about a decision over the Christmas holidays!

Me too, for Glasgow and UWs. I was so surprised.
