Manchester Medicine applicants for 2015 entry

Is it possible to modify the poll by diversifying the range of scores (eg. 600, 620, 640)? I just really need to see what the scores of applicants will be like this year...

I've had a change of heart with one of my choices and I am now considering replacing it with Manchester :smile:

I know that the top 1000 UKCAT scorers will have their PS marked - how many of these 1000 applicants will be invited to interview? Based on last year, about 850 applicants were invited to interview so wouldn't that mean that as long as I make it within the top 1000, I'm pretty much guaranteed an interview (85% chance)?

Only signed on to UCAS today xD I think I will apply, it's just chemistry has always been my worst subject at school so it's scary xD

Glad to hear you're loving it, I guess if I'm only doing 1 subject (maybe 2 maximum) I should have a decent shot at the A*!

Hey guys, I'm a gap year applicant (First time applying to Manchester). My stats are:

GCSE: 2A* 9As B
A Level (achieved): A*AAa
UKCAT: 717.5 (2870) Band 1

I have so much work experience...so much :P I have a decent amount of volunteer work.
Is it worth the risk of applying?

Thanks!

Wouldn't say it's risky at all! Top 1000 UKCAT (which you are 99% likely to be in) get PS read and from there 850-900 ish interviews happen...so if you have lots of work exp and reflect on it well you should get an interview

No probs

with your stats this time round you're gonna get a couple of interviews minimum so your chances are high!

At least it's better than finding out on August 15th that you will have to redo ukcat as you got A*ABB rather than AAAB with the B in chem being stupidly close xD

Good luck

Hi,

I am 3rd year biomed predicted a 1st (or high 2:1). I got 2610 (652.5) in my ukcat - I am aware that this is not the best but UKCAT. I have decent work experience and extra-curricular stuff.

I really need some help as the deadline is quickly approaching. I need some help with choosing my fourth university. My choices:

1 - St Georges GEP
2 - Swansea GEP
3 - Keele 5 year (this because I know they're not too harsh with UKCAT
4 - I don't know (Sheffield, Leicester, Manchester???)

I don't know what my fourth option should be. I probably need it to be a university that's not too strict with UKCAT, but still uses it. I know I make the minimum requirement for Sheffield but I also know that it is very competitive. I'm not 100% sure about other unis. I know ukcat overall is lower this year, but does anyone have any suggestions about a fourth university I should apply to?

Somebody please help me out.

Thanking you guys in advance,

ps I'd LOVE to go Manchester uni
