Anyone know if maths applicants usually get interviewed?

I'm from Manchester and was at the Uni yesterday, it is really nice and Manchester is amazing, of course :tongue:

If my predicted grades were high enough... (ABB instead of ABC :angry:)... then it would definitely be my first choice!!!


APPLY! they make exceptions sometimes!

Apparently they show you around the campus for a couple of hours, sounds like a right waste of time especially if you live in Manchester :lol:

Applying for Economics (BSc) Hons - Need AAB

GCSEs A* A* A A A A A B B B C (C in German, B B B in Eng Lang, one of the dual science awards and Persian)

AS results;
Modern History C
Maths B
Economics B (2 UMS off an A)
Psychology B

Didn't try hard enough so i'll be resitting some modules. Dropped psychology and my predicted A2 are AAB. The B is Modern History.

I do General Studies as well and i'm doing an EPQ too.

Reckon this is enough for a good chance?


It's me again. Spoken about my predicted grades, and my teacher's have put down AAC! :/

BUT my history teacher wrote on my reference for the universities that she thinks i'll get a B with a resit i'm intending to do. Reckon this will affect my chances?

I have the same problem as you I'm predicted A*BB but I'm hoping my maths teacher wirtes in the reference that she thinks I will get an A after my resit too.

I hope this does not hinder our chances

I'm applying for European Studies + German, deferred entry, predicted AAB
The course looks great, probably my favourite after UCL's, but my parents keep telling me Manchester's a horrible place to be - they really didn't want me to apply there! Thoughts? I couldn't go to the open day so I feel pretty much in the dark, hoping I'll be invited for interview/look around the department so I can find out what it's really like...

Don't listen to them. Manchester is awesome! I have a flatmate who says it's like London only smaller and friendlier and she loves it :biggrin:

I'm from near London and love Manchester! (in some ways prefer it) if you're unsure about it this website could be helpful, it's not as biased as Uni's own videos:http://unionview.co.uk/
