How Manchester considers your application and personal statement: Staff and students at the University talk about how applications are considered and advice on what to include in your personal statement
By "back up", will the University want proof eg certified work experience or challenges you have participated in because I did the Raspberry Pi challenge but I have no "proof" of that.
This video is amazing! And it popped out a question in my head. When it was mentioned that if someone marginally fails to meet the program requirements the personal statement can play the backup role. Starting here, the question is, can someone still get accepted if he or she scores the required overall band score in Ielts but half a point less than the required score in the written section of the test? For example, let’s assume that a MSc program requires 7 overall score and 7 in writing. Would you consider 7 overall and 6.5 in writing??
May I ask for examples of preferred extra curricular activities for a personal statement to apply for a medical course, because I’m starting highschool right about now, and this would be a really great time to work on them.
Hi, thanks for your comment! We'd recommend that you follow extra-curricular activities because you enjoy and value them. Our how to apply site has more information around this: www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/study/medicine/apply/

torical Significance: Maurice Brumer was known for his vigourous and sustained advocacy of using plus lenses for the control of myopia, so vigourous that he disrupted the optometry section Presidential address at the 1978 ANZAAS meeting in Melbourne in a way that attracted local TV stations. He was protesting the refusal of the optometry ANZAAS committee to accept his paper. He also represented his views to the Federal Minister for Health. He was so disputatious that he was expelled from membership of th
and revealing. Maurice Brumer is a second-generation optometrist and has been in continuous practice in Australia since 1967. Concerned about the mistreatment of myopic children by their eye doctors, he asked to present a paper in 1977 on this subject at the 48th ANZAAS (Australian & New Zealand Association For The Advancement Of Science) Congress in Melbourne. The organizing committee rejected his paper as "inappropriate." Dr. Brumer attended the congress anyway and, in his outrage, staged a protest and disrupted the Presidential Address. Dr. Brumer then took his case to the media and the parliament, creating a national uproar. Because of this public pressure, he was allowed to speak on January 26 at the 1979 Congress in Auckland, New Zealand. Because he made this a public issue, Maurice came under attack by organized optometry. As published in "Insight", Australia's Newspaper of Ophthalmic Optics, in March, 1978:
I really doubt that Personal statement is most important part of the application. In my opinion, most unis give offers to students with high GPAs & Ielts even if their Personal statement is average. They also consider students from good reputed unis.
Surya Karthik This is the England. We don’t have GPAs. How do you think you know anything about our universities if you don’t even know how we grade here??
Sarm Mdm It’s an American thing, grade point average :) it’s a number up to 4.0 which represents like how well they did across the year or across high school (not sure on that tbh) cause they don’t do end of year exams in the same way we do. Things like their attendance, their tests throughout the year and their homework/classwork count towards what grades they get in certain subjects.
