Biochem is in the first week of interviews whereas chemistry is right at the end, so it's not surprising that biochemists are hearing sooner. You should hear by the end of next week, unless they're particularly cruelly sticking to the one week's notice that they can (just about!) get away with, so just sit tight for the time being, safe in the knowledge that you've picked a nice college with some excellent tutors. :smile:

You won't need a calculator in the interview. Having a quick look through your personal statement is not a bad idea, though.
