Thanks!! I need 5s on the AP Calc BC and Physics 2 exams, and at least 4 on the AP Chem test. Overall though, I think you did better in your qualifications than I did in mine, so your offer will probably be easier! :smile:

Oh yeh, forgot you were applying from America! Is that a high offer then?

Hmm it's not especially demanding, but it definitely won't be easy (especially since I've been slacking hehe) :biggrin:

I'm just worried about physics 2 since the AP program changed physics and it's pretty new and weird and I'm not really sure how to study for it >.>

One question though- anyone else got some sort of confirmation email after sending their ucas thing off?
I got one from all of the other universities I applied to but not Manchester which is a bit worrying :s-smilie:

I didn't get a confirmation email but I have to do an online application as a course requirement so they sent me an email with the link for that in saying that the first part of my application (UCAS) was received so I wouldn't worry! They have probably got it! :smile:

Where from: Peterborough
AS/A2 subjects: French, Economics, Geography, Maths, General Studies
AS/A2 grades: AAABC (dropped Maths- got a C) predicted A*AAB for A2 (A* in GS, B in French due to my weak AS speaking in which I got a C but I'm retaking in spring 2016) got an A in FREN1 as well!
Course applying for: European Studies with a Modern Language (French)

I haven't actually been to Manchester because of difficulties with getting time off from my job but I've been to the city before and really liked it, I'm likely to insure it if I get an offer I think! Sad that they don't accept GS but nothing we can do about that.
Sending in my offer this week.

Oh wow we're applying for all of the same unis!! :biggrin:

it'll be fun haha. Yeah I think Manchester gives Skype interviews for international applicants, but I kind of wanted to actually go to England :P

Let us know how it goes :smile:

Did you apply anywhere else in the UK?

Im from California and I also applied to Warwick, Edinburgh, Newcastle, and Durham. So far I have a conditional from Durham and they never asked to do an interview.

The music from the 80s and early 90s introduced me to Manchester as a city and when a friend got into Edinburgh last year I looked into applying to the UK and now I'm not even applying to any US universities. I visited over the summer and I absolutely loved it.
