You seem very safe for Manchester. UCAT cut off for last cycle was 2730. I didn't have an interview, but people last year for both medicine and dentistry said it was tough. It will be MMI.

Did they find it to be more tough compared to their other interviews? If they did would you be able to tell me which other unis they had interviews for?

Thanks

I heard Manchester and KCL were particularly hard, as in the interviewers were quite stern and not putting you at your ease. In saying that though it's all subjective, I thought the panel in Liverpool were nice but others on here thought they were stone faced lol.
Hi does anyone know when Manchester will send the additional form for us to fill out about our work experiences and hobbies and stuff? I haven’t received mine yet.

on their website they said that we should not simply copy and paste things from our personal statement onto the form
anyone know when interviews will be held this year?
this might be a dumb question but for the non-academic information form, for the work experience bit it says to write about treatments and procedures that i have observed. is it okay if i write about other things i saw such as teamwork and empathy?

are you going to write strictly about procedures and treatments or are you going to include other stuff that you saw such as teamwork etc?
