Sounds like you did ok - when do you get to hear if you've got in?

[Shaani]

well done on surviving the interview!
ive got mine on 27th march...not looking forward to it....
btw it was a 1 on 1 interview wasnt it?

[nenah]

most people hear within a week so am hopin the same for me! i really liked it, if i get in, i might go!

erm yeh it was a one to one interview but it was in a massive computer room and there interviews goin on on the different corners and cubicles so basically, its like a massive room with loads of interviews and interviewees! a bit scary. some people were asked to do some maths!! oh dear!

dnt worry bout it shaani, u'll be fine

[Shaani]

cheers nenah. its one of those things in which i'l be stressin now but when the time comes il be more relaxed.

[mm45]

wow good mix there. Have you been to look around them all yet? I must admit I only applied to Brighton so am completely biased but i love it here lol. To be honest I recommend you go where you feel is 'right' for you, you will be spending the next four or five years there. If u got any questions about pharmacy at uni or uni life id be more than happy to try and help.

I only applied to LSOP and that is where I studied. Suited me as I was able to commute from home.

I had never thought about all the 'extra curricular' activities. At that time we did not have a bar or common room at Brunswick Square.

Only later on did I realise the rule was that girls tried to get as far away from home as possible while quite a few of the guys, like me, commuted from the suburbs.

We were well green and naive in those relatively innocent pre 60s days.

Wish I had been 10 years younger!

Gap years were non existent for the ordinary kids from Grammar schools.

We had no money and National Service provided the main escape from strictures of home.

Oh dear I am getting old.
