Has anyone had a response to their Application and been invited to interview?

I had confirmation of them receiving my application back in January, but haven't had any updates since. I've seen a few other people in the same boat though on here, so I assume they're still working through applications slowly but surely.

I would give them a bit more time - I know the university has been going through a bit of a shakeup since they announced a budget deficit and have been cutting down on the number of staff they have (not sure if this had a huge impact on their admissions team but it's something worth being aware of anyway). It's best not to overthink, the deadline for unis to give responses isn't for another two months anyway.

I had my interview on the 26th of February and I got my offer yesterday but I know that some people are still waiting on their interview invitations. Its still quite early so don't stress too much! Hope you get yours soon!

Well done on your offer, I was just wondering if you got any tips/how many questions or scenarios as my interview is approaching really quickly and Im really anxious about it

I can't say exactly what the questions were as that's against the rules of TSR, I believe. But honestly just be yourself. I didn't prepare that much, just went over the 6Cs and what exactly the course would entail at Cardiff. If you've done shadowing or volunteering in a hospital based setting, or even just work/volunteering facing the general public, mention that! My interviewers were really lovely and they just asked me questions based on who I am as a person and why i picked DR.

Good luck all!
Be yourself, be confident, and show you are passionate, and you'll do great!

I had my interview for Cardiff in December and I still haven't heard anything back but Ive received offers from all my other unis. Im torn because applications for accommodation are opening but I can't choose my firm until I hear back from Cardiff. Now Im thinking if they have taken this long then is it more likely it is going to be a rejection (in which case I might as well withdraw) I don't know if I should wait it out or withdraw so I can submit my preferred accommodation at my other top choice?

Hiya,

Firstly, congratulations on getting an interview! I am so sorry you have been waiting so long, that must be frustrating for you. I do think they will get back to you very soon, if you can hold out another week or two I would, I doubt they would be longer than that now.
(Also I am not sure, but I think most accommodation selection is often randomised rather than first-come-first-serve, but I could be wrong).
