Interviews?

I phoned up Birmingham and they told me that theyd sent out some interview invites for late October. Has anyone here got an interview invite?

I've know of people who already have interviews at Birmingham - they're all people who sent their ucas forms off a good couple of weeks ago.
But personally I haven't heard anything back from Birmingham yet.

Hey all, thought I'd offer a bit of reassurance here.

I remember exactly the same happening last year when I applied: some people were being offered interviews and I'd only just sent off my application. At the time I was just a floater around NMM - reading but not replying (hey to all of you, yep, I know you're out there!) so got a bit worried when I saw this, and watched the thread as people became anxious. Especially as those being interviewed had a billion (ok, maybe not, but 13 ish) A*s. I wondered how I could ever compete.

But it'll be fine! I was invited to an interview in Birmingham in February and was offered a place right at the end of March, right on the "All Unis should have given you a reply by now" day! It seems like a looong time between October and March, but if you satisfied their A* criteria, just wait it out, and make the most of people who've had their interviews offering you tips!

My friend has an interview in Birmingham on 27th October. She sent her UCAS off about two-three weeks ago. Id say that was the first day of interviewing.

I didn't think they were even allowed to hand out interviews until after 15th October...
