Can anyone give DS some guidance?
He has an interview for a maths foundation course at a top uni and has an interview. He left school (at 16) 3 years ago. We live in a world where, despite the MN seeming to think almost everyone goes to uni, no one does. He really didn't want to continue in education at 16. He's not at school so doesn't have them to advise him. He's worked FT for the last 3 years.
I have a degree, but I did it by distance learning as a mature student. I am quite good at job interviews, but can't quite picture how this goes. He's been told 40 mins.
He got very good GCSEs at a very poor school. He doesn't have Alevel or equivalent (they know this but have offered him an interview) and he doesn't have any of the extra curricular clubs you might expect from a posher background.
What he does have is a genuine interest in the subject. The application has come about because he's been reading academic papers and solving Alevel maths problems, self taught, for fun!
So, how can I best support him for the interview? We've Googled and he's working on preping some answers for the standard questions, but I feel like we're missing something. Will he be expected to talk about maths?
It's possible I'm over thinking 😆
