mpharm interview reading university

Guys, I have an interview on March 20th, and for my language requirement, I took the TOEFL exam. I got all the required scores except for the speaking section, where I fell short by just two points—I got 19 instead of 21!

All my other documents are fine. Does this mean they won’t give me an offer? Am I doomed??

Good afternoon,

I hope the interview went well and you gained the response you hoped for.

If you are still considering the University of Reading, I have provided some extra information below.

The Whatuni website is good for reviews on Find A Course, as they have a full comprehensive list of reviews.

There is an ambassador scheme at the University of Reading where prospective students can message current students; you can find more information here.

When I was applying to the university, I found it very helpful to attend an Open Day; however, for students who live far away or do not have access to an Open Day, there is a Virtual Tour, which prospective students can look at from their homes. I highly recommend you have a look at the Virtual Tour; it provides an insight into the campus.

You can find the RSU Sports Clubs and the Societies, which are run by the student union. There is also a selection of Student activities which occur throughout the year.

At the end of every year, there is a Summer Ball, which is a large festival-like event. There is live music on different stages, a theme park, and lots of food and drink vendors. It's seen as one of the highlights of the year.

I hope this information helps you gain an inside perspective of the university.

Additionally, I highly recommend you contact the unibuddy ambassadors (Link provided above), as they will be able to provide course-specific information.if you have any questions, please let us know.

All the best,
Ella
