congrats laura12! hopefully ill be joining you, i have my interview jan 27

do you have any advice on how to prepare/what to expect?

[Laura12]

Just the usual I guess, try and be yourself and confident, calm etc. Easier said than done I know but I think it's important. Also stand your ground and be confident in that sense too..if you have an opinion stick with it and back it up (though obviously acknowledge other's opinions). If you get a place are you going to live in halls??

Good luck in your interview, ob[x]!

Ahhh congrats Ob[x]!! This means Manchester have started giving out offers from their post-christmas interviews!! Eek! My interview was on the 25th of Jan and i'm another "mature" applicant (feels weird calling myself that! ha) but I applied for the 6 year course!
