Third year applying, first ever interview! So so excited!!
My interview group was so lovely as well, really hope to see some of them at the course

Congrats clinpsymember - were you one of the late group on Tuesday? I think (judging by your other interview colours) we interviewed at the same time (we were given our role play hand-outs together!). Unfortunately I didn't get an offer I thought I'd done quite well but according to my feedback my interview & written task were pretty bad. Nevermind - maybe see you at Trent

Sorry to hear that. Was the feedback something you can at least bring forward to your next interview?
Just curious, because I'm waiting to hear back from an interview.

Congratulations clinpsymember! I was also in the late Tuesday group for Sheffield... it was a lovely group I'm 3rd reserve for a place, so would be eager to find out if this moves at all. But got an offer from Leicester so i'm definitely going to be doing the Doctorate this year!

Good luck for the rest of those interviewing! And well done for everyone surviving this process so far, keep on keeping on!! x

Congratulations everyone and well done for getting through the interviews everyone! Just wondering for those that have interviewed already how long it took to hear back?

[Chachar]

So I interviewed this morning and Manchester have already emailed out responses!! Reserve list (again!) for me, which is good as I didn't think I did well today! So now it stands:

Manchester
Liverpool
Staffs
Leeds

Fingers crossed for Liverpool!!

Well done everyone so far!

I am currently:

Glasgow
Bath
Leeds
Manchester

Trinity (got through written to group then no interview)
UCD (reserve for interview but reserve list never moved)
QUB stage 1

I cannot believe I am a reserve for Manchester, I honestly thought I did AWFUL!

Was in a bit of shock initially as I did everything that I said I wouldn't do so had written myself off.

That's brilliant!! What interview day were you?

I interviewed this Monday, first thing. I must admit I felt a bit intimidated by the strength of the group. I'm already based in the department in Sheffield so feel free to message me if you have any questions.

BlueHy, I know the second reserve so happy to let you know if I hear of any updates.

So happy! It’s my first time applying. I really wanted to study at Leicester so I couldn’t be more delighted!

Good luck to everyone else!

@graduateak Well done!! I was in your interview group. I'm so pleased you were offered a place, well deserved! Our interview group were really lovely, and it made the whole experience much nicer!
