Congratulations, I’m not studying yet but have an offer from Manchester too. From what I found out people have said GEM feels like an afterthought for them and that it is very independent, you have to push yourself if you want to learn and improve on skills, no one will chase you for skills for example. On the other hand, the area has excellent hospitals and in general there are very good research opportunities. It’s also huge to be able to do an elective to build that portfolio (looking at those competition rations💀). I hope this can help a bit
