Uni of Manchester Freshers 2014-15

I got an offer for AAB for Biology with a year in industry (A in Biology, A in Geography and B in Chemistry) but I really don't think I've got a B in Chemistry. My coursework grade was really bad and I don't think I did enough to pull it up to a B. I'm hoping I got a C maybe, do you think they'd let me in with AAC? Anyone know of anyone where this has happened?

Also if you do drop a grade, is it then more of a matter of how close you were, say a few marks? Do they take that into consideration?

Fingers crossed but I'm going to prepare for clearing just in case...

I do know a few people who have dropped a grade and still just offered the place, I wouldn't worry too much My offer for biomed is ABB so I can't see why they wouldn't allow AAC

Ah thank you! :-) that has made me feel a bit better. I'm just hoping they're a bit lenient!

Hey guys, question for the international students, when are we expected to receive the CAS number needed to get our Visas? Been a month and no news yet.

I got it yesterday. You could try sending them an email or calling them up asking for it?

Ah okay. Better late than never Yep I did, no news thus far, been a.. week already, heh.

hi im am thinking of taking this course, could you please tell me your subjects, grades and motivation for this course?

Hello everyone I firmed Manchester as my offer and I'm hoping to study anthropology, is anybody else here going to go to Manchester in 2014 (hopefully)? if so what course are you doing, I'm curious and hey we might even meet in freshers week! I am planning to stay in fallow fields because that's where it's at!

Does anyone know how much Manchester looks into GCSE grades? I'm required a B for maths and I've retook it this year, but doubt ill get a B (which is required for my course- International Management) thanks.
