Re: 2018 Doctorate Application Progress thread
Sorry to hear that. Was the feedback something you can at least bring forward to your next interview?Leddy wrote:clinpsymember wrote:Royal Holloway

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 offerI thought I'd done quite well but according to my feedback my interview & written task were pretty bad. Nevermind - maybe see you at Trent
Just curious, because I'm waiting to hear back from an interview.
Re: 2018 Doctorate Application Progress thread
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?
Re: 2018 Doctorate Application Progress thread
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!!

Re: 2018 Doctorate Application Progress thread
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.clinpsymember wrote:That's brilliant!!

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