Hi All,
I’ve already had my medicine interviews at St. Andrews and Manchester, both went very well and I’m feeling optimistic! This may seem like a very first world problem but I’m having an incredibly hard time trying to decide which university I should go to if given an offer. I’ve already done extensive research into both institutions and created a pros/cons list, however they both seem to balance out equally to each other. So if anyone has any personal experiences of these universities that will be greatly appreciated or any other things I should take into account!

(St Andrews is a very beautiful town and university, so that's what I would do).
EDIT: actually I'd do St Andrews/Edinburgh. But if you're interested in Manchester that's what I'd do.

Do pre-clinical at St Andrews and clinical at Manchester. Problem solved

You can ask to change routes- they have done this before for other applicants post interview by emailing admissions.

As Democracy says you’ve got the opportunity to go to both. Choosing St Andrews will mean an extra year with a mandatory intercalation as you probably know. This is something that may or may not appeal. Socially the two are very different so does that bother you?

What about your other two choices? Have you written them off if you get offers?

Socially I like going out but it’s not the be-all end-all, as long as there are fun things to do outside of studying I’ll be fine. My main issue is diversity, as a black woman I don’t really want to be somewhere where there isn’t a lot of people that look like me, although St. Andrews has a lot of international students that doesn’t necessarily mean BAME, where as my friends that go to Manchester said that the diversity isn’t too bad.
Sorry this is so long.
