To quote my email response:

It is very unlikely that you would be able to change from Manchester campus.

Kind regards,

I'm from Manchester, It's actually a really good city and the Uni isn't too bad :smile:

I applied for the Manchester campus, but to those of you who wanted campus S and have been offered a place at campus M, I 'accidentally overheard' :wink: a conversation between a prospective medic and a St A staff member going on in the medical school while I was waiting to have my interview, she was telling the student about how they 'have' to say that you can't change campus, but actually a lot of people do apply to change in the 2/3rd year and a generous amount are allowed to do so :smile:

To clarify, she then said 'so they tell you that you can't change campus, but actually: you can'

I talked to a current St. Andrews student. He said that you are allowed to change your campus accordingly to your grades of the first semester of the second year at St. Andrews. I thought that things changed starting this year as someone said that it's unlikely to change your campus... but if Shellfish002 also heard something similiar then it must be true and valid for 2011 entrants as well :smile: No need to worry everyone :biggrin: (including myself :s-smilie: )
What accomodation do you think would be best to apply for? and shall we start a facebook page so everyone can start getting to know each other? x

I was just about to ask about a facebook page, it doesn't look like there is one already but we should definately start one!

David Russell Apartments all the way for me :smile: Going to apply for it tomorrow if it's possible for us to do so yet. Anybody else had any thought on which halls they want?

If it says S I'd hazard a guess it's Scotland lol


I thought that was obvious but yeah S = Scotland, M = Manchester.

Well done on everyone with offers! :awesome: We should totally make a facebook page, though I've not firmed or anything.




And guys, looking forward to the mass exodus to the "Med Students" society/thread :ninja:

Hah thanks and clearly they are missing out on 2 amazing people!!
No I haven't forgot! You better make sure you get in now!!
Hopefully I will be intercalating so 6 yrs it will be!!


so sorry to hear about, I know how you feel though!
Well at least we have a place at another medical school so we are not that bad there are many students who couldn't get a place this year so we always have to be grateful about what we obtain even if it is was not our top choice.

Best of luck with manchester and you will have more fun in Peninsulaa anyways !!!
rejected :frown: seriously bummed out since i had an offer last year but i missed my grades...
good luck to everyone else!
