Manchester Uni Clearing

Hi, I have been unsuccessful with application for Uni Manchester for Law, I was predicted the requirements and felt like i had a really good personal statement, however they said other applicants had stronger personal statements, what should I do, do you think there will be clearing spaces and should I appeal the decision also I have been accepted into Liverpool and Salford are they good and which ones are good, thanks

Hi @User0123564,

First of all, I'm really sorry you didn't get into your first choice - the process can be really hard! Universities only have a certain amount of places for each course, so meeting the entry requirements isn't always enough - it will all depend on the pool of applicants and what they're looking for.

As DataVenia has said above, you can't know if Manchester will have clearing places - they might, but they might not. Ultimately, it comes down to what do you want to do?

Are Salford and Liverpool places you can see yourself? Have you visited the universities, gone to course talks and spoken with current students? If not, I'd really recommend it - it can be a good way to see where is right for you. Most universities will have offer holder days coming up, so do take advantage of these!

Once you have visited, you could then revisit your options - can you see yourself studying Law at either Salford or Liverpool? If not, what was missing for you and could clearing be an option for you?

All the best with your decision making

1. Clearing actually opens in early July; I assume you're asking about Clearing spaced which were still available on results day? Last year, Manchester had 136 courses in Clearing on results day (source), although I don't know is Law was amongst them.

2. You cannot appeal the decision simply because you disagree with it. Your only grounds for an appeal would be if you believe that their has been a procedural irregularity (i.e. they have not followed the process correctly in making their decision).

3. You say that you have been "accepted" into both Liverpool and Salford. Do you mean that you have conditional offers from each? If you have two offers, presumably you plan to use one as your firm and the other as your insurance. Which do you prefer? What are the grade requirements of the conditional offers?

Hi Data Venia, regarding your appeal statement, I have a reason and just wanted to know if it’s worth it and how likely I am to get a place.
