Hi

I just wanted to thank everyone who has confirmed whether they are attending interview. I have started to chase those I haven't heard from yet. Please remember that the deadline is 2 weeks before your interview. Also, please note that all extra information you wish to be submitted as part of your application will not be seen by your interviewers since they have already received copies of your files and are now in the process of considering your applications. We will of course still file any new information for consideration by the admissions tutors.

Now, I have also been asked to let you all know that to avoid the spread of any virus' during interviews (namely swine flu), interviewers have been advised not to shake hands with applicants when they introduce themselves - please don't take offence to this! This is for your benefit too as I'm sure you don't want to get ill just before christmas. I promise they are normally very friendly and polite so please don't hold it against them!

With only 3 more days until interviews start, things are pretty hectic here so please be patient and we will try to answer your queries but remember we are not confirming receipt of confirmations - you will hear from us if we have not received your form!

Thanks.

Hello,
What time do we have to be at the college the day before interview if staying overnight, i.e. for dinner?

It is worth brushing up on all areas you have studied in school, regardless of which subject you are applying for but do bear in mind that there will be things you have not come across before in the interview so don't think you need to know everything!

As I said in my post on 16th November you can arrive any time after 4pm. Dinner is served at 6pm but Porters are on duty 24 hours a day should you arrive late.

Hi!
What if we had recently taken tests such as the ACT (a bit like SAT1 but with a science component) and SAT2? Would the admissions tutors like these 'extra evidences' to be sent?

You are welcome to bring to interview anything that you feel will help us to assess your application but the only paperwork we need from you in advance is the interview confirmation sheet.

Hello,
Will we get free dinner and lunch or do we have to pay for it?
