Looking at how to increase my chances for next year / alternative career paths...

First time applying at the age of 25. Feeling disheartened but I always said I would try again.

All BiG FAT NOs.sorry I don't know how to change the text colour.

Re: 2019 Doctorate Application Progress thread
Can I ask why you didn't do the test at Lancaster? We get a few people every year who either don't do them at all or do one (and usually do really well on it) and then don't do the other. Is there something you didn't realise when you applied?Yayasmama wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 1:22 pmSurrey

Not at all bad (or unexpected) given that this is my first year applying, after all it only takes one
Well done to everyone who have interviews and commiserations to those who don't.

It would be so nice if something made sense for a change

Third time applying.
Looking back and comparing myself to other applicants, I really do feel as though I applied way too early. I'm also fearful that my undergrad grade (62) is holding me back. Probably need to be a bit more strategic with where I apply next time (if I do)!

YAY! Just heard back from Exeter, very happy. To all those feeling downhearted do keep trying. This is the third time I have applied and I was not even invited to sit tests in previous years. Keep going, it is possible!

Pretty shocked. Feeling pleased.
Also just wanted to note that I got an alert that someone in Edinburgh had googled my name. I thought that these apps were anonymous? Guess I was mistaken!

Now that the waiting is over time to get prepping! Good luck everyone and sorry to anyone who didn’t get an interview this year - it can be such a disheartening process. My take home this year was that it seems there are even more applicants than ever to compete with
