@_Rusty_ @KA_P @04MR17 tagging you so this thread can be added to the index

Anyone else applied for the new Manchester GEM course? How are you finding completing the NAIF?

Hey, I have applied too!

Me too Any ideas about when we’re gonna hear back about interviews ?

They've started sending out A100 invites! Fingers crossed we hear back soon 🙂

Hello! My daughter applied to A101 and also A106. She received an interview yesterday, which she’s over the moon about, but it doesn’t specify whether it’s A101 or A106..? Any idea how it works or is everyone in the dark because the A101 is new?!

im on the same boat im not sure if mine is a101 or a106!

I'm in a similar situation - I only applied to A101 on UCAS but when I completed the non-academic information form, I also ticked the box that said 'Do you wish to be considered for A106?'. However, there only seems to be one interview booking website for everyone since they asked you to tick the course that you applied for, so my guess is that they'll interview everyone generally, and then consider you for both courses, rather than there being a separate interview for A101 and A106.

But I definitely feel your frustration, I would love to know specifically if my application was strong enough for A101 alone as this would obviously be much better! Their interview booking website also makes it really unclear as to whether there is a separate cut off for grad entry & standard entry medicine - I am slightly worried that I have only met the cut off for standard entry, but wouldn't know this until the outcome.

I might phone admissions next week & ask for some clarification on this, I'll let you know how I get on.
