MAP - Manchester Access Programme (2018)

Just a reminder that applications for the MAP open tomorrow,

The benefits for you (outlined): If you successfully complete the programme, there are three main benefits:

1.) You'll receive advice and guidance for your UCAS application and personal statement. If you decide to apply to The University of Manchester, you'll also receive an early decision on your application.

2.) Dependent upon household income, MAP students may also be eligible to receive a scholarship (I believe it's a £1000 per year,) to assist with their undergraduate studies should they choose The University of Manchester.

3.) MAP students are eligible to receive a reduced offer of up to two A-level grades (or equivalent) below the standard entry offer. For example, where the standard offer for a course is AAA, a MAP student will receive an offer of ABB. This reduction in grades is valid only upon successful completion of the MAP and reflects the work students undertake to complete the programme successfully.

Just a quick question any students who've taken MAP through route 1 (Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy) did you get a differential offer? + Are you currently studying at the UoM?

I know a guy who did MAP 2 years ago and got an ABB offer. He ended up getting BBB and they still let him in!! He got so lucky lol

That's amazing, what course is he taking at uni?

I meet all of the essential criteria but one- my parents have been to Uni. Am I still okay to apply?

Someone said that apparently you only need three of them?

hi i was just wondering if any one has had a reply back for decision manchester?

I got my decision back last Monday but I do have friends who haven’t heard back, they said max end of November so just give it 3-4 days, if your college deadline has passed I would call them up just to be sure. Hopefully it’ll come soon though and good luck 🤞🏼

Hey, how did you get your decision back so soon. They sent me an email saying I will get it in February

I thought they said end of December was the latest? You can’t get it in February because UCAS deadline is January 15th. I think you’re talking about actually signing onto MAP?

Yeah, i'm talking about MAP what are you talking about

Yeah I’m talking about the end of MAP where they give you an early decision on your university application. I’m assuming you haven’t started it and are waiting if you got a place?

Yeah i'm waiting sorry i thought you were talking about getting a place in MAP anyway, how did you find MAP, was it good and could you talk about it in your UCAS application form

MAP was so good, really boosts your application. It’s your choice to talk about it in your personal Statement (thought it’s highly recommended) but you must put it into the form if you’re applying to Manchester Uni as they need to know whether youre eligible for the reduced offer when they do review your application. If you have any more q’s feel free to ask

Did you apply through the general strand?
