Indeed, follow your heart and enjoy your journey - whether or not it ends up in clinical psychology!

Thank you Miriam- do hope I can come back and play a more active role on the site.

Congratulations! There's nothing selfish about giving yourself credit for an excellent achievement! Well done on being offered the position you both want and have worked hard for. Life has a habit of taking us down paths we don't always expect, but these paths often lead to something great and life...

Dear all, I just wanted to thank you all for your continuous support the last 5 years. You are all probably thinking oh she got on the course etc... You are both right and wrong. This years application was the best for me with 2 interviews (UEA & RHUL). However, I will be withdrawing from my UEA pla...

I will be withdrawing from UEA in the next 7 days so the reserve list should move and hopefully someone will hear something. I have finally received email confirmation of my ESRC PhD studentship funding. I have been told that I will receive formal written offer in the next 7 days. Once I have this I...

Anyone on RHUL interview waiting list should hear something in the next 7 days. I am due to interview at RHUL on the 19th. I will be withdrawing as I have finally received email confirmation of my ESRC PhD studentship funding. I have been told that I will receive formal written offer in the next 7 d...

Also a reserve for UEA. Anyone have any idea how many people are usually on the list?
Thanks

Oh that's sounds great, well done! Are you able to decide once you hear from the Doctorate or do you need to accept now? It's such a tough decision, but it's better than not having a decision to make :) Yes, I've got an interview with Manchester. They have announced that the interview is only 15 mi...

I'm sorry to hear your experience was similar and I do hope you are feeling better. I struggled with hearing the questions as well and also, the interviewers were so close to their cameras I was unable to see their faces probly so reading any responses was impossible. I had two ppl interviewing and...

It sounds like video interviews have been tough for lots of people, it's completely understandable. Be kind to yourselves, no one expected it to be this way, and you won't be the only ones who struggled. And remember that everyone had to do interviews this way, and while it might have suited some m...

Reflecting back (I had my interview on Monday, so I gave it some time for my emotions to calm down) I believe that the online interview wasn't a great experience. I let the anxiety take over and I wasn't able to calm myself quick enough. I found it challenging to build rapport with people who were ...

Hi, I somehow managed to get two interviews this year and this is my first year of applying. Both universities have now confirmed that the interview will be online; this has increased my anxiety levels as I have never done Doctorate interview nor an online interview. I feel that I cannot present my...

I thought I should post so that I add to the multiple applications list in hopes that it will alleviate some of the worries that comes with no interviews. This is probably my 4th/5th application- lost count. 1st time was 2014 and I had an interview with Holloway and reserve at UCL. Since then no int...

I don't understand why you switched to a spouse visa. Wouldn't you be in a better position if you hadn't? I am assuming this is for me... I switched because private life is a 10 year route whilst spouse is 5 years. So it saves me money and time..as each 2.5 years was costing me almost £2000.. Plus ...

Hi All, Hope everyone is doing well in the big world of psychology :) I am stuck in a sticky situation and would appreciate any advise/info. I am on a spouse visa that renews itself every 2.5 years (and I have no intention in leaving this country, also having done my masters here and worked here fo...

Hi Everyone, Apologies if this is long and in the wrong section. I am after some advice really. Background I graduated in 2011 with a low 2:1 from UCL. I could have done much better academically as my A Levels were excellent (4 A*). However, I lost my mother, sister and grandfather within a space o...
