Following on from the first thread:
DD now has UKAT booked for mid-August. She couldn’t get a driving theory test booked until after the UKAT date, but will keep an eye out for cancellations.
Now, her big dilemma is Oxbridge it not....

Congratulations to everyone with interviews. Let's hope a few more universities start to send them out next week!

LaLaFlottes · 20/11/2020 11:58

@IsThisNameTaken brilliant news!! Congratulations Smile

emummy · 20/11/2020 12:02

Great news @IsThisNameTaken! Good luck to her in the mocks and the interview

Powergower · 20/11/2020 12:54

More interviews, this is brilliant. Anyone else feel a real sense of pride when anyone's dc here get an interview?? Lovely thread and so much support. Good luck to all with mocks too, what fab kids they are dealing with everything they've got on.

MaddieElla · 20/11/2020 13:00

Great news.

Keep them coming!

And thanks @LaLaFlottes Mpharm interview was tough and she was a bit stressed when she came off it. Lots of chemistry calculations which ordinarily would do in her sleep but she felt the pressure. She did settle though and she says she talked a lot. Above all though it was excellent practice for any interviews if they ever decide to come Grin

Yes, feel very proud of all the DCs getting interviews - we all know how much effort they've put in and they deserve to be rewarded.

@MaddieElla sounds like she recovered well, calculations would be hideous for me! And as you said, great experience.

MaddieElla · 20/11/2020 14:33

I know it's not medicine related but DD has had an offer from Nottingham for Mpharm. She is really happy and I think it's been a confidence boost as she was fretting it had gone badly.

Obviously I really want her to get some interview offers in for med but she's very happy.

emummy · 20/11/2020 14:35

That’s fantastic!

LaLaFlottes · 20/11/2020 14:37

@MaddieElla that's great news and will be such a confidence boost.

I bet that's a competitive course too, so she has done really well.

WithIcePlease · 20/11/2020 15:10

Great news @MaddieElla
Such a confidence boost!

opoponax · 20/11/2020 15:22

Excellent news @MaddieElla. Lovely way to round off the week.

SATSmadness · 20/11/2020 17:15

Such good news MaddieElla

It must surely give her confidence that she can "do" interviews and that she has a back-up plan in place now.

Just in time for the weekend too.

LaLaFlottes · 20/11/2020 18:23

DD just got her interview invite from Leicester!

She could choose a slot from a limited range of dates and has gone for 11th Dec, as she has mocks the week after.

After a minor melt down about how soon her St Andrews interview is, she's taking this one a bit more in her stride!

Now where is the Gin ?

WithIcePlease · 20/11/2020 18:32

Wow Lala Well done to DD! What a week!

LaLaFlottes · 20/11/2020 18:34

Thank you Smile ! It was quite a surprise to see it come through at 5.30pm on a Friday.

Powergower · 20/11/2020 18:42

MaddieElla fantastic news on the offer!

Lala - I'm so pleased for your dd. 2 interviews already, what a star.

MaddieElla · 20/11/2020 18:43

That is great news! Happy weekend. Gin

northlondoncat · 20/11/2020 22:26

Sorry new to the game here. DD applying to Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Leicester with biomedical at Liverpool. Has anyone heard anything for these yet ? We have the biomed offer. Any help appreciated

LaLaFlottes · 20/11/2020 22:45

Welcome to the thread @northlondoncat

DD heard from Leicester today - but not until 5.30 this evening. From what she has said from TSR, these are the first interviews for Leicester so I am sure more will follow.

She hasn’t applied to Nottingham, Liverpool or Manchester, but I’ve not heard of any interviews being given from these Unis as yet.

northlondoncat · 20/11/2020 22:59

Thanks can we talk on Dm?

LaLaFlottes · 20/11/2020 23:07

@northlondoncat yes of course Smile

opoponax · 20/11/2020 23:10

Hi there @northlondoncat. Just to say my DS has applied to Manchester and no word from them re interviews yet.

northlondoncat · 20/11/2020 23:13

@LaLaFlottes thank you @opoponax thank you this Exeter business has got us spooked. We didn’t do BMAT

LaLaFlottes · 20/11/2020 23:19

I think Exeter spooked a lot of people, myself included! But I don’t think Leicester is looking as bad thankfully.

@northlondoncat I’ve replied to your message Smile

northlondoncat · 20/11/2020 23:32

@LaLaFlottes Thank you
