    Hi all

    Has anyone had their interview for Primary PGCE and heard if they've got a place?

    I'm still waiting to hear if I've even got an interview and I'm terrified I'm not even going to get that far, everytime I phone admissions they tell me that the apps are with the tutors and I should hear soon :(

    I don't know whether to keep checking track or wait for an email or phonecall either, the amount of times I'm checking track a day is getting beyond ridiculous!

    Hi Jenpen,

     I had my interview on Wednesday but am still waiting to hear. They said they are trying to meet their admissions poiicy to let us know within 4 weeks but they do not want to give us a definite timescale because the time of year etc can have an effect.

    If your apps with the tutors, I would expect to hear from them within 2 weeks regarding an interview at least that is what I was told, and literally 2 weeks later I heard.

    I'd say don't bother checking track as mine still says sent for consideration even though i've had my interview. You should get a letter through the post although they did say they are trying to move towards doing everything electronically. I got mine in the post.

    Now I'm just waiting for the inteview result.

    Good luck with getting an interview.

    :)

    Thank you so much for your reply, I'll just have to sit by the door waiting for the postman now lol. Out of curiosity did you have to do the poster task for your interview?

    Yep,

    The format was exactly the sme as last year with a numeracy test, literacy task and poster presentation on the title "Being a Primary School Teacher"

    I think the poster presnetation for me was the most scary. The literacy task and numeracy task were fairly straight forward.

    A big hi and good luck to everyone waiting for either an interview or the results of an interview. It sounds as if we are all feeling the same anxieties. Initialy I spent lots of time checking up on the GTTR site to see if I had an interview, only to get the letter from UWE direct and my status still as under consideration or some similar vague note. Now I am constantly wondering about whether I will be offered a place ...or not. The suspense is killing me. Anyone had good news of an offer at UWE yet?

    It seems as though we are the only three here... Have you had your interview already Barneythebear? I had mine last week and have so far managed to limit the amount of time I have spent on track checking my application. I'm not expecting to hear for another 3 and a half weeks at the earliest to be fair... however if this whole 56 day deadline (2 x 28 days) thing is applicable, I should hear by 5th December.

    Hi SannyAnny, yes my interview was also last week. It is good to hear I am not alone! I am trying hard not to keep loging onto track progress, but in an odd sort of way, it is quite addictive! I must get out more... Good luck with your application and lets hope we all have good news before Christams...

    Barney have you been given details for UWE's welcome login in page? I got an email today. I got all excited thinking that they may have made a decision, but they haven't as yet. They have just given me another thing to get obsessed with! x
