OMG so exciting,i feel like that is a good sign , what was it for , ik your not allowed to say the questions but did they focus a lot on your personal statement or written work, was there a lot of general questions? Good luck for your next one!

it was weird as it was mostly on the pre-reading (not sure if that was bc i had some trouble with it lol), they didn’t ask too much on my personal statement but i wouldn’t take that as verbatim, i’ll see what the interview is like tomorrow and see how the two differ.

i thought it went okay - i had a few hiccups here and there haha though they seemed to smile and nod quite a lot, laughed when i laughed etc!! but hey they’re looking for someone teachable, right? hopefully i did enough idk i guess we’ll find out in a few weeks 😝😝😝😝😝

Well done! I have had both of mine and felt so positive afterwards.
Good luck to everyone else yet to do theirs. It feels a bit of an anti-climax now after so much work!

Yep! I was really surprised at the number of people on the call actually. I don't want to stress you out at all and they're probably going through them systematically so I'm sure it doesn't mean anything but I did get an interview invitation yesterday. I live in Somerset so it's a fair way, how about you? I feel very unprepared for the interview so far and I've just finished mocks season at college so I've not really had time to do much haha


Hey have you been up to Emma yet? I got an interview and interviews all done. I loved it!

Mine were on Monday 8th. Now for the long wait! Are you feeling hopeful? I want to go even more now. Liked the professors and the students and candidates I talked too.

I don't want to set my heart on it in case I'm disappointed but it definitely made me want to go so much more!! Fingers crossed for both of us 🤞

Oh no mine had more than 3, it was a poem, I looked it up after the interview and I realised what I said was completely different from the original message ,which was sad😭
