Good luck Ben! I'm sure you'll be fine, you just have to relax and be yourself. Don't put too much pressure on yourself Oh I forgot! Congratulations!! [Edited 11/21/06 4:27am] | |

Just don't do what someone from my year did and go wearing combats and discuss your love of guns.
Don't try and tell them what you think they want to hear - they probably have heard that all day every day. You'll be cool - Good luck edit. [Edited 11/21/06 4:49am] | |

Good luck, you'll be fine. But what is it? "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"-Dr Seuss

Put some Vaseline on your cheekbones, you'll look sharper. Not too much, though. Make sure there's no food between your teeth and wear a plain tie. And don't worry, you're on my fave orgers list. [Edited 11/21/06 4:58am] | |

Is this for a UNI place or a job?
What subject, if you let me know I might be able to help a bit more. General advice would be: don't try too hard be confident but not cocky ask plenty of WELL INFORMED questions Look keen, eager and ambitious without being desperate Be knowledgeable about UCL and what is expected of students at UCL Have an answer for: Why do you want to come to UCL Why do you want to study XXXXX Happy is he who finds out the causes for things.Virgil (70-19 BC). Virgil was such a lying bastard! | |

I suppose I at least have a BBB offer from KCL to fall back on should I not get into UCL or Oxford - so I've got another London fallback (it's a question of London or Oxford for me). | |

Thats plenty to fall back on More options than a lot of other people! I know thats no consolation when its you though. Just remember that they wouldn't have invited you if they saw no point, that oughtta give you some confidence - they obviously have some in you! And don't let noone intimidate you And let us know! | |

Thats a tough one. Answer my q's above and I will be able to give a bit of advice. An awful lot depends on what subject and career you would like to follow.
