Hi all,

All the best to everyone. Well done to those who have got places. And to those who are on the reserve - I feel for you - good luck. Shame we don't get told what number we are on the reserve list or how long it is; quite different to other universities.

So I've been applying for a long time can't remember how many times Been working in the NHS for many moons. Thought I'd finally share were I am today with this process:

UEA (waiting for the outcome felt like ages!)
Surrey
UCL
Hertfordshire

It just takes one really pleased, in shock, it's been a very very long process nearly a couple of decades just a lot of perseverance I think...

Does anyone who interviewed with Bath have any idea when they're planning to contact people with results?

Someone on the fb group emailed them and got a response saying it would be today...

Second and final time applying! (Offered Health psych stage 2 training)

2021:
Edinburgh
Glasgow
Newcastle

2022:
Edinburgh
Glasgow
Newcastle

Gobsmacked to have got an interview at Glasgow! Rejection from Newcastle and still waiting on word from Edinburgh.

I can't believe I have two interviews this year! I'm amazed and will need to seriously think over my place on a health psychology doctorate if I'm offered a place on a Clinical course

I have an offer from Glasgow University! It's with my current health board so I am delighted!
I've decided that I am definitely jumping ship to clinical and still going to my Edinburgh interview later this month, if by some miracle I am offered a place with Edin it's going to be a tough decision to make between the two!

2022:
Bath
South Wales
Exeter
Oxford

Just got an email saying I was on the reserve list for Oxford, but I have no idea what to expect from that or whether to hold out any hope - does anyone know how it works? Do they tend to put a large number of people on the reserve list or is it just a few people? (I realise it probably varies from course to course but any insights would be appreciated!)

Bath
South Wales
Exeter
Oxford

Just got a no from Bath, pretty disappointed tbh as I thought the interview went okay.

Can't quite believe that I got offered a place on my first choice course (the course whose Clearing House page I looked at so often that its what comes up when you type 'cl-' into my search bar.)
