Getting into Manchester?

[theatrical]

I was told at the open day that everyone who meets the minimum requirements gets 20 marks. Oh well.. maybe I got the wrong end of the stick!

I thought that the majority of applicants would meet the minimums but the woman at the open day said I'd be surprised how many people apply who don't.

Well you def don't. The person that said it might not really know what happens.

Yeah I expect peeps do apply with lower just on the off chance but considering how many have the requirements it really would be pointless to give everyone that had the requirements the same mark.

what would be my chances of getting in with 1A* 4A and 7B?

Depends on your PS, work experience, etraculicular activities, predicted grades and references.

thanks for the breakdown of the criteria... qn. if i only had one shadowing stint that only lasted a wk, would that mean i will be given only around 5 for work experience? out of ten that is.

You might not even get that.

sigh..... but its too late to get more work experience now with the A levels in less than 2 mths and the UCAS deadline being in a few weeks. guess ill just have to take a gamble and apply.

Does work experience include volunteer work? Or is it just shadowing doctors in hospitals at GP etc?

[AndrewD]

I think its medical-related only?

I tought manchester didn't really look for medically realted experience as they want caring experience, which your volunteer work might show, right?
