    Hey!

    I havent applied for Northampton but feel in the same situation!

    I have applied for ARU and it has been 15 days since I had my interview. They told me if I hadn't heard anything within 2 weeks I should contact them!

    I have been talking to people in these forums... at ARU they have two campuses, pboro and chelmsford and been hearing pboro people have been getting unsuccessful decisions, and I havent heard anything yet!

    Some other people have told me that I should contact the uni, but I'm too scared!!!! But if you have more guts than me then the whole point of me sending this message is that maybe you could contact Northampton and see how long they're gonna take?

    Good luck! x

    Haha yeah! The reason I'm worried about ringing is if they say, "Errr actually, we arent gonna accept you..." Awkward or what haha!

    Aww you should have asked on interview day! Honestly they will answer questions like that! They actually told me at my interview. I asked a really odd question about where I could be put on placement etc haha and they didnt seem to mind!

    I got rejected by my first choice (even though I liked my second choice SO much better!) and I got told pretty quickly that I wasn't successful, about a week I think. So the longer you wait the better chance you have I bet! It's horrible waiting though!

    I was going to go to Northampton for my undergraduate degree (journalism). I went for about a month and then had to pull out because of personal issues. (I am now doing my undergrad at ARU Cambridge). You'll love it at Northampton, its such a nice uni! x

    Ah heres hopin i get in then! This is my 1st choice tho id applied to gtp first an was unsuccessful an got real bad hence why i didnt want to take the chance of askin any questions i hadnt planned a reaction for lol. Im hoping no news is good news then for the gtp said we would here within a fortnight, but it took them a month getting back to me and that was cos i hadnt got through so hopefully this is different lol my 2nd choice is bedford but ive been lookn round an they seem to have filled all their places! all the staff etc an the place itself seemed lovely and friendly atmosphere but knowin my luck if i ring ill be told ill hear when i hear lol x

    I'm sure you will :) Getting into PGCE is really really hard, so don't be disheartened!

    Yeah I applied for SCITT and didnt get in. I wish I went for GTP! UEA was my first choice and I was really glad to get an interview coz people told me it's incredibly difficult and is a popular course because its OFSTED is outstanding!

    Yeh..I have just spoken to a lady I know who had an interview the same day and she was told it would be up to three weeks before finding out, and she called the uni up earlier to find out what was going on and was told they were still making decisions.
