Swansea 2012 GEP applicants

**Good Fortune** · 02-02-2012, 07:41 PM

Emerald Rose, which room were you in? They told me a couple of weeks but I'd decided it was a figure of speech or a mistake. I had room 2.

People asking for details of questions displays a kind of air-headed naiveté more than anything to me. Like it hadn't occurred to them that it's a race!

Zan, I had an email. As for the scoring I can't remember exactly how it worked but you need about 40/50 overall amiright?

**Zan** · 02-02-2012, 07:51 PM

I got an overall 56 :-( with 58 section 1, 65 section 2, 43 section 3. I can't really imagine getting an interview with that science score!

Btw totally agree with you about folks asking about questions asked. I think most people are feeling on edge as it is without being put on the spot. I think its perfectly acceptable to ask how someone prepared for interview -what they read up on etc (a polite alternative)

I only had my interview yesterday and so its only been a day but i want to find out!! Dont think i can wait till middle/end of march!
I dont even feel confident about it all but all this waiting is a killer, i couldnt stop thinking last night of all the things i should have said. And im cringing at my nerves, they were rather obvious at times

I loved Swansea too!

**Zan** · 02-02-2012, 07:57 PM

overall 52 rather (was unable to edit the post)

Zan, From what they said last week it's an overall score of 50+ that they look for.

Amy _Kitch, You wouldn't be human if you didn't show any nerves...either that or you wouldn't want it badly enough!

I was told mid to end March for news....I'd be AMAZED if it was any sooner, so I've told all of my family and friends end of March at the earliest to stop the constant barrage of 'any news?'

**Joanna2012** · 02-02-2012, 10:02 PM

Amy, I feel just the same. It's 10 days now since my interview and the waiting is terrible! Still keep thinking of all the great answers I could have given, if I hadn't been too nervous to think straight on the day! I only applied to Swansea, so all my future plans depend on the outcome of a 25 minute interview

Zan, Swansea's admissions policy says a Gamsat score of 50 or more, they don't mention needing certain scores in different sections.

**Joanna2012** · 02-02-2012, 10:08 PM

But if they give us all a score at the interview, and then combine this with the Gamsat and academic scores, then this could happen pretty quickly as soon as the interviews are over. So it could be sooner. It was mid March last year but the interviews went on later into February. I should just try and think about something else for the next month!!

I'm trying not to think about my interview too much, just hoping and praying I said what they wanted to hear. Come the end of February/early March, I'll be very hesitant about checking my e-mail!

Oh dear - I haven't heard a thing yet despite calling every couple of days.
It seems they are giving different messages to those being interviewed. I'm just being told that they still have not finished processing applications yet due the number of them. But with just over a week left to go for interviewing - that's not looking very promising!
Anyone else still in limbo land?

**Amy_Kitch** · 02-02-2012, 11:22 PM

It must be so frustrating for all of you who still haven't heard anything! If that means your on some sort of waiting list, does that mean that some people still haven't actually confirmed or declined their interview offer? I must have confirmed mine within the same minute I got the email I was that excited! Would be surprised if people still were undecided considering the interviews are only going on for 1 more week
