Here's the situation.

It's your first Uni interview, you're VERY nervous. It's hot, you're very thirsty and very tired.

They keep you waiting for twenty five minutes until you walk up three flights of bloody stairs carrying a heavy leather portfolio. You are then interviewd by Dragon Woman from hell.

She is cold, blunt, intimidating, ill mannered and bloody annoying. Just when you think it couldnt get any worse she turns to you and asks you two questions.

1) If you met yourself coming the other way, how would you describe yourself?

2) What aspect of your personality would you change if you could?


So you've got literally five seconds to answer the most dumbarsed questions which could make or break her impression of you. Serious or flippant......

1/ slightly shifty, shy, fidgety and keeps touching the lobe of his ears.
2/ my nose, or the skin on my nose because somehow a spot like to make a home there just when something important is about to happen so look like peter schmeichel.

[Everlast]

1: er if i saw myself coming the other way i would probably say.................wow hes sexy enough to make me turn gay.
2: i'd get an even higher opinion of myself.

The * psychobabbale shite you have to do whilst being interviewed. i ahd an interview where the bloke was invading my eyespace with constntly . sodding eye contact, he started telling me my fortune i told him his fortune and belitttled his course....

[Sidders]

Just don't worry about it. At the end of the day they want you on the course more than you want to be on the course. The more people they have on their course the more money they get.

[Adam]

true. er. what course are you going in for.

my interview was alright.

At the endo fthe day if you were a low cut top, then guarrranteed places are likely. it works for blokes too.....

[Adam]

low cut. those randy tutors are always coming on to the female students. a little flirt there and then doesn't hurt.

Wearing a low cut top probably wouldn't have worked on this woman. And she didn't try and chat me up. Which I'm quite happy about.

When she asked me the first question I stared at her and said "I'd say, hello....I'm nice! Wow."

She stared at me for a mo and I knew then I'd probably blown it (trust me to get the one without a sense of humour). She then asked me what I would do if I didnt get onto the course (art course) I had to stop myself laughing at this point and I almost said oh well back to the bacon slicer at Waitrose. I said Oh my God! I don't know what I'll do...

Anyway I got a letter Friday saying I got in.

AHAHAHAHA! THE FOOLS!!...

well done gem

My history interview was ok, really easy, you know, "so, you say you've read Mein Kampf. Tell about that and WHY you chose to read it"

Politics was awful though - "you've prepared for this interview, haven't you Andrew?" "Uh, yeah", "ok then, do you think the two spheres of art and science in society are intertwined in a symbiotic relationship, or do they exist as individual conceptualisations within the minds of individuals and in reality?"...*Cue major bullshit from me*

But hey, I got in, so who cares

[Jonny Hoare]

Phwatreich a scary thought...
