OFFER HOLDERS THREAD........... Has anyone received the pack yet?

[HotCoco.]

Got an offer this evening after an interview last Monday Came through on track.

Do we get the accomodation pack after you firm the offer or do they send it to you regardless?

What are people's opinions on the 2011 syllabus being different to 2010?? By the sounds of it they're reducing the amount of PBL so we would be the last year with the PBL crazy timetables... Gaaahhh I dont know if its a good or bad thing. But at least we have the AAB offers!

Anyways, maybe see y'all in Spetember!!

I asked some of the medical students while I was in Manchester about this. They said that PBL is not as bad as a minority are making it sound like. The people that do badly in PBL are the people that don't work, as you need to be very self-motivated and disciplined to keep on top of work. And they also said some of them fail to realise there are complimentary lectures you can go to for consolidation, so it's not entirely PBL. If you work hard and can carry yourself without having your hand held all the time, there's no reason why you can't succeed.

Well done on your offers. Happy to answer any q's about Manchester if you have any.

I couldn't get to an open day and car broke down on interview day so haven't had chance to talk to students or look round. really chuffed as have offers for newcastle and manchester. I know manch scores badly in student satisfaction surveys but Ithink it looks great from web info. am I right?

Hi guys....I'm a gapper and I have an 'conditional' offer from Manchester (satisfactory health and CRB checks) and an unconditional from Glasgow (just the health and CRB equivalent checks) so essentially I have my choice of either course for September.

Manchester or Glasgow....???????

(In spite of my name, I live in England so am responsible for fees for both so there is no financial argument (other than Glasgow's fees being marginally less).)

Thoughts please!

look in tthe threads for the 2 med schools here and on thestudentroom/ on facebook. there are usually some current students who are kind enough to answer all your questions/give advice. I don't know enough to help. sorry

cheers conorcd....have already looked around on here but studentroom is a good idea.
