.

Superb news littleham !

Well done to your DD Littleham

I hope the trip to Southampton is successful Horsemad

Thanks webwiz, me too!

Horsemad- good luck for your ds! Poor child is probably talking to himself with scenarios of what to say to the tutors???

Thanks everyone!

polka. He's quite laid back, but has talked to me about the interview which is unusual for him!

Excellent news Littleham!

If she gets a similar offer from Queen Mary then that will be her firm. RHUL still very much in the mix though.

Well done Littleham DD!

Horsemad - what subject is your DS going for at Southampton? My DS has got interview/open day there next Tuesday for Electronic Engineering.

Littleham, so happy for you! :)
And mums life too! :)

seimum - he's applying for Computer Science.

Good Luck to your DS for his interview. Did he go to a general Open Day in the summer?
Mine did and really liked the campus.

Seimum and Horsemad - good luck to your DS with their interviews.
Littleham - well done to your DD! I hope the interview goes well.
DD1 had her final interview yesterday which was at Nottingham and quite intense. I couldn't go with her due to work but it was MMI (interview stations) format with a maths and science test, and also a group exercise. She says most of it was ok but won't hear until late in December. And after all that, she says she doesn't really want to go there and prefers Manchester as her firm choice! I am glad we are at the stage where she can now concentrate on her school work so she can try and get the grades, instead of preparing for interviews and missing time off school.

Dd is applying for musical theatre so auditions coming through at the momentmoment...at £50 a time
Her banker is Chichester....far enough away from home but she can get back in an hour and a half.
I am so looking forward to her moving away from home....will do her and us the world of good

Good luck to those with interviews coming up.
*Chatmade^ hope auditions go well. I wasn't aware of any audition costs through UCAS. Doesn't seem to be the case for music, but many don't audition.

hellsbellls, what is MMI (interview stations)? Haven't heard of this before.

Good luck to all with interviews and break a leg to Chamade's DD :) have you been on notapushymum? Lots of audition chat on there.
Dd has an interview with Warwick in January, so heard from all Unis/colleges now (she's still only applied to 4 so far). Bristol fav at the moment but two interviews and an audition to go in the next 6 weeks. Hand me the now!

MMI is multiple mini interviews - a bit like speed dating!

Good luck cathyandclaire's DD.

Totally off topic, but I'd LOVE to do speed dating - if I were single!! Just appeals to me!

Ha ha me too horsemad!!

Same here Horsemad and Polka.
Though not sure I can quite see the connection with MMI, except perhaps the time spent at each desk lol.

Good luck with all the interviews & auditions.

Speed dating interviews. Sounds different.

Hi Horsemad

DS spent 4 days at Southampton this summer on a Headstart course. He really enjoyed it, and I think it would be his number one choice - if he gets an offer.

DH & DS arrived home about an hour ago.
He enjoyed his day and said the interview went well and they've (verbally) made an offer of AAB - will hopefully update on Track soon...
Also, he had an offer of AAB today from Nottingham and an 'Unsuccessful' from Imperial - not a surprise really but he was a bit as he'd have made them his Firm I think.

Oh dear Horsemad sorry about Imperial but congrats on the Southampton and Nottingham offers.
