Anyone have a picture?

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the UEA interview room? Are the 'booths' really seperate tables in a hall? Or actual booths? I'm just curious as even something as trivial as this could really throw you and make you more nervous on the day if you were expecting something completely different! Thanks

The booths were actually seperate rooms when I was there, down a corridor. There were chairs set up outside each room with the question for that room on them. There were two or three people in the corridor co-ordinating and making sure people were going to the right rooms. The rooms are fairly small, I think they're probably 5 person seminar rooms or somthing like that.

Thankyou for the help! I was just very worried that It would be a hall type setting with numerous tables and many students milling around

Fear makes you think very irrationally

... But what if they change the setting from interview to interview

Hehehe, J/k, thanks for the help!

It depends

If your interview is in the MED building...you get a seperate room (one of the PBL rooms...tho you might get the small one or the bigger ones on the other side)

However, some interviews are over in the Queens building...here it booth like... where you sit in the middle of the room and in the corners are cornered off areas, you do your station, then return to the centre where on the chair will be the next question for next station, then you do that and so on (again you have 2 people telling you where to go)

Also before your interview, you get a little prep talk to tell you what is happening

When is your interview?

I wouldn't think about it too much andy, you'll work yourself into a panic which probably won't help. I got the impression from UEA that they really want you to do well at the interview and that the last thing they wanted was to reject lots of people after interview.

I think the interview process is just to select "the best" 220 people out of the 520 candidates invited. The format of their questions and the way they mark them also seems to favour people who give concise to-the-point answers and dont stick their foot in their mouth.
