My DD just got offered a conditional place at Dundee! Her interview was less than 2 weeks ago so it was a fast turnaround! She is delighted and the pressure is off for Aberdeen next week!

Fantastic!

@HGC2 brilliant news on the offer. That is amazing!
My DD has an interview on Tuesday and is really nervous. We have a friend giving her a mock interview tomorrow just to give her a taste of it.

She's still yet to hear from all her other uni applications but has secured her backup course of Pharmacology at Bristol

Good luck! My daughter was really nervous and didn’t know which way things had gone, it’s a lot for them

Congrats on the offer! The Scottish ones always seem to be quick off the mark.

Don't worry if your DC come out of interviews not having a clue how it has gone. My DC each had one interview like that and both got offers from those interviews.

medprocesspain · 14/12/2024 17:27

My DS was really nervous going into his interview this week but says it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be once it got going so hopefully that will be the case for others.

Well done to everyone on interviews and the early offer!

Miloarmadillo2 · 15/12/2024 10:00

Well done to your daughter on the offer @HGC2 what a lovely pre-Christmas bonus! Good luck to everyone with interviews this week.

HGC2 · 16/12/2024 10:37

Bristol tend to make a very small number of offers early in the process to candidates who have scored very highly. Most candidates go on hold and then offers and rejections are sent out in quite regular batches. Some don't go on hold and just go to offer or rejection. Try not to read too much into whether you are on hold or not etc. It doesn't seem to mean anything other than that they have looked at your scores and you are still in the game. Just a way of managing their applications. Both of mine got offers from Bristol but not for about two months after their interview. Some of their friends waited longer.

Fab news, @HGC2 . How lovely to have 2 offers before Christmas. Well done her!

Just dropped DD into college for her Oxford interviews. She's not well at all today unfortunately - hoping adrenalin will power her through and her voice will stay the course...

question around Aston -

  1. has one one on this thread applied to Aston
  2. if yes, any idea on the scores received. I believe they have sent until 32( non contextual)

thanks
