You have to have an interview before a degree?

I so want to be a midwife, but fear I am too thick.

The interview is to get on the course

Smile, look approachable, dont blag, always mention 'adaptable to change' (good for nursing and midwifery).

Dont worry, they wont expect too much from you, I recently had my first job interview (I'm a 3rd yr nursing student) went armed with oodles of research done and all they asked me about was me!!!!

Fingers crossed 4 u, let us know how you get on

I bought some rescue remedy today as recommended on my other 'I'm really nervous thread' I hope that will help the physical symtoms I'm getting.

Well I think that it went okay. I garbled a bit at the beginning and got a really dry mouth and couldn't think what to say when she asked me how much I knew about the course. I wasn't really expecting that so I apologised and said I was really nervous. But they were nice about that. They seem pretty impressed with my qualifications and the fact I already have a degree . I had to do a little maths test which wasn't too bad and I also had to write a piece on why I want to become a midwife. I hope it is Okay. I think I will probably know in the next week or so.
Oh, and I also asked what I could do between now and starting the course if I am offered a place. She said I might want to do another higher (scottish qual) in something like psycology just to get my brain back in gear for studying.
Fingers crossed girls!

good for you! when will you hear?

oh hope you hear soon, wishing for good news.where do you plan to study?

It was at University of the West of Scotland, the hamilton campus. Hopefully I should hear within the next week or so.

Ooh. I used to live in Hamilton - is it in Hamilton???
