Cov & Warwick (expecting the rejection letter this week)

I didn't get short-listed at Exeter last year, so really pleased to get a chance this time round.

Ah I haven't heard from Exeter yet so I guess it's a no for me... Was it an email? When did they send it out?

Hey Betterdays, I received an e-mail at 5pm. I know someone who hasn't received an e-mail yet from Exeter too.

Thanks for your response, I hope I hear soon one way or another! I haven’t heard a peep from any of the courses I applied to, it’s driving me crazy!!!

Gobsmacked... but also excited for my first interviews after a couple of years of flat-out rejections!

Good luck to everyone waiting on responses.

South Wales - tests completed (but didn't do very well on the numerical reasoning test!! )

I like to say, "I'm not an Applicant, I'm an Applican!"

Has anyone had rejections from:

Exeter
South Wales
Bath
or Plymouth

I'm just wondering if they're only letting the successful applicants know, which seems a bit mean!!

I've not heard anything from Plymouth yet

Have you checked your junk folder on your emails? I think they would let all applicants know whether they have an interview or not... that would be mean otherwise!

[Victoriomantic]

Plymouth have just emailed

Absolutely thrilled and delighted!

I've also applied to Exeter, South Wales and Bath and haven't heard anything yet, however it does seem that some people who have been selected for interview heard back from Exeter yesterday, so unfortunately it might be that it's only the rejections that haven't been sent out yet. Seems that nobody has heard from SW or Bath either way so still some hope on those. (I haven't applied to Plymouth but it sounds like emails are being sent out now).

That's what I'm thinking (about Exeter). I just got reserve-listed by Plymouth which I feel okay about, though I'm guessing it's unlikely anyone turns an interview down!

Soooo...

Congratulations to all those going to interview

I have not heard from Coventry and Warwick or Exeter but presume that I did not get any further.
Coventry and Warwick
Exeter
Lancaster
Plymouth

It was my first time applying so did not expect to get anywhere as I had only recently completed my masters. I have learned a lot from this experience and feel that I need to believe in myself more and to be more prepared regarding the tests.

Good luck in your applications.

Well good luck with the rest, I think we're going to have to wait 'til deadline day to hear from them and you never know about Plymouth, there'll always be some people who have to turn down interviews!
