ahhh help interview offer

[shonakennedy]

so i went to the letter box today and to my amazement i had a letter from monash university. excited much!!!

then i opened it.

it was a letter requesting that i attend an interview blah blah. problem is, the interview is for social and community welfare, which is my 4th preference and i really had no intention of doing it because i am fairly confident ill get by first preference, and of not, my second. so my question is, do i bother confirming that i will be attanding the interview? or do i tell them thanks but no thanks?

[transgression]

If you're sure you are not going to take up the course, don't bother.
Just call them up to cancel.

sweet thanks. do all uni courses have interviews? the nursing course i want says that only some applicatns will need to attend an interview. what does that mean?

Key word is if you're absolutely sure that:

- you WILL get your first preference, and;
- you definitely will NOT take this preference if offered it.

My suggestion is to not burn any bridges if you can. That being said, it's up to you.

i want to be a nurse. badly. and surely the enter of 70 isnt impossible. i hope. lol. and the fringe enter is like 67 and thats like an average score. i would do the interview, but i dont want to be taking the place of someone who would actually want to be in that course. then again i dont want to ruin my chances at something i would consider doing. i dont know. its all too hard.

[shonakennedy]

i know that no one will probably read this or care, but i feel proud for reaching a decision. im going to go to the interview to keep my options open. i mean, how often do you get to practice these things? not only will i learn life skills, but if i failed at life and vce i have something to fall back on. you never know what will happen in life and you might as well take advantage of every offer made to you, else you may miss out.

You won't. That's what 2nd round offers are for!

Furthermore, if you're given an offer ranked higher than this one, the spot is freed for 1st round.

Bullshitting: Number 1 in the field of success! And you will seriously have no trouble with the ENTER thing, Shinjitsuzx.
