did you get an unconditional or conditional offer from manchester? didn’t know you could get in with c’s, sorry for all the questions, going to uni in 2 years and need people’s experiences..

Christopher McMahon

I go to the University of Manchester
Study Politics and Modern History
Secularism, rants and plenty of history nerd goodness is what you can expect.
I like to think I read a lot. Vonnegut is very possibly my favourite author. Other favourites include Poe, Dante, Orwell, Conrad, Stoker, Lovecraft, Hemingway, Hitchens. If you like any of these guys we'll probably get along.
I'm not all book nerd, I have a keen interest in gaming. Mass Effect, the Total War series and Metal Gear Solid are pretty much the only games I need though.
Lord of the Rings is a pretty big part of my life.

My list of pet peeves:
War
Organised Religion
Ad hominem
Animal cruelty
Astrology
Alternative medicine
Liquorice (mainly liquorice above all others)

*Disclaimer: I tend to moan about these things a lot. So don't follow me and then send me anons complaining that it's all I talk about.

Ok.

I got an unconditional from Leicester but I wanted to go to Manchester who gave me a conditional. Also I did the old A levels so I would have got A*BB by today’s scheme I think.

I do Politics and Modern History and because my History mark was very high, I had a strong statement and a good reference and I got decent marks in unrelated subjects I got in.
