cool thanks, so it sounds as if you only get invited if you're going to get an offer? (I'm off on the 12th) :biggrin:


For life sciences, 96% of last year's interviewees got an offer.

Sent my UCAS off on Friday, got an acknowledgement from Manchester on Monday.

Applied to: Cell Biology with 1 year industrial/research placement (4 years)
Typical offer: AAB-ABB

I'm predicted A*AB but I got ABC at AS... not sure whether if they consider me what my offer will be? Think I may need to be interviewed as well?

Anyone else applied to this course/heard from Manchester for similar courses?

I'm so impatient, my life revolves around me refreshing track at the moment!!! :tongue:


i know this is random, but we have the same AS and predicted grades. ive got an interview coming up. :tongue: applying for Geology, not really similar aside from the fact that they are sciences :biggrin:

I didnt have a great teacher last year and if I'm honest I slept in her lessons and crammed about a month before, so I guess the C is partly my fault and partly hers. Chemistry is hard to teach yourself! I'm resitting my unit 2 as I got a D and thats what brought my grade down, so hopefully I can get an A when I resit :s-smilie:

I've been quite risky really because I'm not sure whether I can pull off AAB (now I don't even have a politics teacher which is ridiculous and our course has NO TEXTBOOKS!!!) I applied to Manchester, Bristol, Bath, Liverpool and UEA. I got an offer for UEA - ABB :smile:

What about you?

same, my unit 2 was a C surprisingly so i think i can get an A but my teacher wont predict me that high. oh well. i applied to Bristol, Manchester, UCL, Birmingham (offer ABB) and Durham, to which i dont want to go but just applied anyway. don't even meet the entry requirements of AAA. i really want an offer from Bristol.

You're the same as me! I reaaaally want to go to Bristol, but they want AAB and idk how im gonna do it :frown:
Im not sure if they'll take me though, ive heard its ridiculously over subscribed and im at a disadvantage because I only have 3 AS levels! Really hope I hear from my choices soon, I hate the wait!

Congratulations! I've added you to the list. As far as I'm aware, aliakhan is the only other person on TSR with a Manchester law offer though :awesome:

Thanks!

Yeah I got that and then about a week later I got my invitation in the post. I wasn't emailed about the interview which surprised me a bit.

I've got an A* in maths already and I'm predicted A*A*A in physics, chemistry and further maths respectively. I doubt I'll get that chemistry grade though.

Thanks! Hopefully you get an interview too :smile:

finally got invited for an interview in the post this morning - so relieved! :smile:
have you had your's yet? let me know how it goes!
Original post by rlt26
You're the same as me! I reaaaally want to go to Bristol, but they want AAB and idk how im gonna do it :frown:
Im not sure if they'll take me though, ive heard its ridiculously over subscribed and im at a disadvantage because I only have 3 AS levels! Really hope I hear from my choices soon, I hate the wait!


:wink: In love with Bristol as well, my course is also AAB but because of the contextual offer, im hoping to get the ABB offer. i dont think my course is particularly oversubscibed, but i hope we both get an offer! why did you not do 4?
