     Hi,

     I have applied to Moray House for the PGDE primary course and am waiting to find out if I have an inetrview or not.  If anyone has any advice about the interviews or preparation for them, I would be very grateful to hear it.

     Thanks.

     Hi sincethen

    I am also waiting to hear back from Edinburgh.  I asked when we should find out and was told it will be before the office closes for Christmas, so I'm guessing it should be next Thursday/Friday!! I know last year they did group interviews.  If you have a search on the forums there will probably be threads from last year.  Good luck!! x

    Nope, not heard a thing either. I'm trying to convince myself that I might hear today but I'm sure that everywhere is closed for Christmas now! x

     Hi,

    I also have an interview this Friday, and cant believe I only came accross this website tonight! how is everyone feeling? I really dont know what to expect, and have no idea what to wear.

    The idea of a group interview terrifies me! Congratulations on getting the Interview by the way. 

    Any idea of how many places will be available versus applicants?

    Thanks!

    Hi galwayg - well done on the interview too :0) I'm soo nervous but excited as I've wanted to do this for ages. Group will be weird but we just need to remember this is our chance to shine. I'm going to wear smart office style but not a suit jacket as it's too restrictive. I think there are 70 places but not sure how many applicants there are.
