Manchester Medicine (A106) 2018 entry

Hey!

Manchester will send you an email on 15 October which will have a link to the NAI form. You can also fill it in and submit it now, here's the link to the NAI form...

https://eforms.mhs.man.ac.uk/s/f/GOKxvgQ0rAC3zZk75GvyHxVrLOk

I have a question about this. For the last section, i.e. motivation for Medicine did you only write about why Manchester? I am not sure what they are asking for. Please help. TIA

Anyone else hoping for an interview through the holistic pathway?
GCSEs = 5A* 5A
Predictions = A*AA
UKCAT = 613
Loads of extracurricular/voluntary/work experience. Hoping the rest of my stats will bring me to a holistic interview! As far as I'm aware, its the first year Manchester has done this holistic thing? So I really don't know what to expect if they'll take a UKCAT as low as mine but i love Manchester!

I'm a bit confused about the NAI form, do we just add in the relevant parts from our personal statement? Or do we fill in the form from scratch?

This is what Manchester said on their website: "The Non-Academic Information Form can be thought of as an expanded personal statement where you can provide more information and tell us why you chose to apply to this medical school.
Although we do not directly assess your personal statement as part of the selection process, you haven't wasted any time in writing it. You will find that you can use most what you have written as the starting point for your Non-Academic Information Form, and we encourage you to do so."

I'm guessing that we can take points out of the personal statement and re-word them so they relate to each section of the form. I looked at last year's applicant thread and people were saying they just expanded on what they wrote for the personal statement as well

Has anyone received an email from Manchester regarding the NAI form?! I haven't even received an email from them saying that they have received my application Is it just me or is anyone else having this problem? :/

I haven't either. But a lot of my friends are having the same issue so I assume that they are just taking longer I guess.

Yeah same I haven't received anything

I haven't received anything from them either :/

Yeah same I haven't received anything

For some reason, on track, for my manchester choice, it says "Campus: N" although it actually says the actual campus for all of my other choices.

Does anyone know what "Campus: N" mean and also, I choose that I wasn't going to live at home whilst studying so does anyone else who choose the same thing as me have "Campus: N" too?

Thank god its not just me!

I don't think anyone's received an acknowledgement email or letter yet. But you don't have to wait for an email to complete the NAI form, just access it through their website.

Bless I thought it was just me who hadn't gotten anything, I think we will only get an email after the deadline, I'm not in the UK so it is already Monday here but about 2am in the UK lol so I don't expect anything soon

it says the same on mine too and i did the same as you

Yh last year they sent it on 18 October so don't worry guys you should get an email... soon





Basically in year 3 onwards you will be placed in 1 of 4 teaching hospitals. Before you apply to Manchester you are asked whether you want to be placed in Preston (1 of 4 hospitals)... I think this is because most people prefer not to go to Preston as it's really far away from Manchester.

'Campus: N' means that you don't mind which campus you are put in / you don't have a preference for Preston

Is there any chance that can be changed to Preston? I didn't know I had that option when I submitted my application

I'm not too sure... you could give em a ring to see if they can change it?
