Anyone going to the open day on Saturday?

I can't attend because it's too far. Tell us how it goes.

I sent of my application last night for the Modern Language and Business and Management (Japanese) program. I'm from the US so I have slightly different admission requirements. I was required to get 3 4's on AP Exams (kind of like A-levels, except the grade is based on one 3 hour exam). I received a 4 in English Language, a 4 in European History, and a 5 in US Govt. and Politics. So, I did exceed the requirements. Plus, I have predicted grades of: 4 and 4 for Calculus and English Literature respectively, and 5 and 5 for Macroeconomics and Psychology, respectively. I met my SAT requirements as well. I applied for deferred entry to Sept. of 2013 because I need to save money, but I hope I can get in! I really want to study in the UK and experience the world!

I'm from Manchester and was at the Uni yesterday, it is really nice and Manchester is amazing, of course :tongue:

If my predicted grades were high enough... (ABB instead of ABC :angry:

)... then it would definitely be my first choice!!!

In case this happens to me, my idea was to note down the key points in my personal statement, and then revise what you'd say about them :smile:

e.g. ''I have recently been reading X''

-Note down why X interests you
-What you've learnt etc

Hope this helps!

Thanks yeah, though for example in my PS I quote a book, however I haven't actually completely read it :smile:

(Ill hope wiki has a good entry on it). I'd rather they just ask me to answer questions about physics than on my PS :smile:
