i had the same issue with the portal omg it was stressing me out so bad😭. tbf i wouldn't believe half the people on tiktok anyways - but they could be interviews for courses that don't require written work!!

hiya, I personally haven't heard anything yet! let's both try our best not to worry - especially cos Downing seems to be a bit slow with sharing info
what courses were those ppl studying who got interviews already?

I’ve seen that last year a lot of Downing’s interview offers came out on the 27th of November- we’ve still got quite a wait haha!! I think it’s so bad only having 2 weeks notice because you could be hearing on like the 4th December theoretically?!?!
