Manchester Medicine Applicants 2012

Hey guys! Hope you all got what you were hoping for and I'll see you there in September :biggrin:

Just a quick questions - I got the email off the uni asking for me to sign up to the IT services and then confirm attendance on My Manchester. I've clicked the confirm attendance button, but do we have to do anything on the page it takes you to, or not? As the email doesn't specify.

Thanks :smile:

Yeah I got a bit confused at it as well, there was a link saying something like confirm/withdraw in the table in the admissions part. I just followed the instructions from that, hopefully I've confirmed it!

It doesnt let me login, is the university ID, the university reference number that we got in our offer emails a while back?

Have you signed up for an IT account yet? I think that's what they're looking for.

I tried to activate my IT account, using the link they provided in the email. But it says "The IT Account Manager cannot find an account matching the details you have entered"

You don't need to worry about that until after your fourth year of study.

You get them from your fifth year of study onwards. Student Finance England will sort you out for the first four years of your course, including any intercalated years; after that, you get a limited SFE Maintenance Loan, as well as NHS Bursaries. The NHS will also pay the full tuition fees for year 5 (Anything you get from the NHS is not a loan). If you intercalate between years four and five, this counts as your fifth year of study, and Manchester will provide a loan for that period (I think...). Hope that clears it up for you!

Thanks but I meant more like the ones you get if you have a low family income (I think it's called the Manchester bursary) and stuff like that. :smile:

Oh, well that'll be assessed in November automatically - you don't have to do anything until Manchester get in touch with you. However, this year is the start of the new National Scholarship Programme, and presumably, you're entitled to that. You will get the same amount of money in the same way though, so other than the change in name and where the money comes from, everything will remain the same.

Apart from sorting out accommodation and the like, I think we should be getting a welcome pack in the mail sometime soon, the gap year medics that went unconditional months ago all got them so we should get one soon; just no idea when though since Manchester are apparently dead slow at admin.

hey this is most likely the wrong thread for this but can anyone tell me how manchester use ukcat for interview? As in do they rank you according to your score and then select for interview, interview everyone who exceeds the cut-off etc.?

Thanks, hopefully applying for 2013! :smile:

Hey guys, how important are GCSEs when it comes to applying for Medicine at Manchester, would someone stand a decent chance with 5 A*s and 5 As, provided they had 3 As predicted for A levels and a good UKCAT score. Thanks

No, you also have to meet the cut-off score for your personal statement and reference. The PS is scored first, those that score highly enough are then ranked by their UKCAT result and the top 800 or so are intreviewed.

Okay, would I be in a good position with a 775 average? And obviously cant tell you anything concrete about the personal statement or reference bit, how is there a cut off for that?? :confused:
