I had the same situation. I wrote an explanation as to why I chose an old reference (I.e. new supervisor might not be able to accurately or confidently comment on my skills) and I got on the course that year too

Never mind, as I post that, I immediately find it *facepalm*

Hi all, good idea on the Facebook group! I have searched and I am unable to find it for some reason though

So my progress is.... Lancaster Leeds ---> Leeds Newcastle ---> Newcastle Teesside ---> Teesside ---> Teesside --------> TEESSIDE!!!!! I'm currently in my office shaking and grinning like a loon. Yes! Very well done! Thrilled for you Hockeygirl, what a rollercoaster! :bom:

Glad to see more heading to the UEA in October! Congratulations on your offers, hope you both get the placement bases you want

I was a bit stressed about the research part of my interview also. I only have my Undergraduate dissertation that counts as true "research" experience (rather than audit or service evaluation etc which I have plenty of experience with!) and I did that 5 years ago. As expected, in my resear...

I still live in Great Yarmouth, but me and my partner are now looking to buy a house as we know where we are going to be for the next three years, so I will be doing the same as you and taking Seprember off to organise this. It helps that my current contract runs out in August anyway :lol: exciting ...

That's awesome my delirium, congratulations to you too! Which day did you interview? I was part of the Wednesday afternoon group but I got there super early haha!

Congratulations to all these blues coming through!!!

I thought I would make a board for all of those who will be training at the UEA starting October 2017. Congratulations everyone and I look forward to meeting you this Autumn! I will be based in Great Yarmouth and Waveney where I was born and bred, so I am very excited indeed

Surrey interview reserve list should move very soon, as I have accepted my UEA place and clearing house appears to be updating now

I am so happy to say that I will be training at the UEA this year! I look forward to meeting my fellow trainees in October

My journey looks like this: > Graduated my BSc Psychology in 2012 with a 1st. > Volunteered at MIND and The Stroke Association as a Support Worker full time for a year. Was in a bit of a paid job limbo :( > Got my first paid job in a Mental Health setting in 2013 as a Therapeutic Support Worker at a...

Just to give my experience, I graduated in 2012 but waited until I felt ready in 2016 to apply my first time. This year is my second year applying and I am thrilled to say that I have been offered a place :D I feel even more ready to be on training this year, and although I wanted it just as much la...
