Offers for HYMs

[Drnic]

You said "Who's got offers and what are they so we can congratulate you and be jealous :-) "

I told you no one has offers till everyone has been interviewed ie the answer to your question.

It is too early, thats my point

Why should we ignore internationals offers?

[Dr.Thor]

We had the same questions because we where on same day, everyone else gets a different set, I think it better that we got prompted because otherwise i'd ramble mindlessly and wouldn't know when to stop at least there testing knowledge when asking additional questions an not just interview technique
Now theres just a ridiculously long wait grgr, I just don't know how they would mark them whether it be on content or delivery of content for each question

Beula was interviewed on the 21st so will have had different questions. I think its a bit of both on how they mark them. Its not that long mate, only the end of Jan. I was speaking to the lad that showed us round and he said that they say its feb some time, but its generally at the end of jan/start of feb you are given an offer or rejected. I dunno why, I just don't think I did well enough on all of the questions, some of my answers were ok (i think....)

So we find out end of Jan/early Feb? Do you think those who were interviewed first will find out first? Even though I'm not certain on whether or not I want to go to HYMS, I want an offer just so I have the choice :P
Did anyone else feel as though their interview was rather bad lol I noticed the marking sheet of one of the interviewers, and I could see that they were giving me a wide range of marks on the multiple choice style sheet ¬¬ so i'm not too hopeful lol

I spoke to one of the girls showing us round and she said that its definately the end of February as I said on this ppl were saying the end of Jan. I think its best to just think that it will be the end of next month otherwise we will all drive ourselves crazy. In regards to feeling crap after the interview I think everyone did. I think the main reason for this is that the interviewers showed no facial expression what so ever which is intentional as otherwise they are giving indicators as to whether or not your going along the path they want of you again though as they said on the questions there are no right or wrong answers they are just examining your critical thinking skills. I know myself I felt the interview was awful but we are all our own worst critics, right now the best thing to do is to try and think of the positive and just lay it to rest its over nothing can be done about it now!

Also they stated that we are all marked and then the highest 340 applicants recieve an offer so therefore they must mark them altogether make a weighted decision and then send out a mass number of offers. This was all in the lecture at the end of the day although it was so hard to not think about the interview at that lecture

[Andy112]

Yeah, you should all hear at the same time I think.

My interview seemed to go really well. Both interviewers were smiling and nodding at me during my replies, although I don't know whether they were humouring me or if this was genuine encouragement!

For those speculating on dates: during the post-interview lecture we were told that everyone will be given their decision by the end of feb at the latest, however they will aim to complete the process by mid feb if possible. They will be giving out fewer offers this year, as they over-offered last year and had to accept 20 additional students onto the course.
