Answer 1

Hey i'm doing the exact same fthing! I'm the same thoguh i hav e no idea whatsoever what im gonna say but there were certain bullets points iw as gonna put in. Here i'l list them for u but it's only for question 1 btw :

I'd rather stay in manchester bcos its wer ive grown up and so id have much more financial support here tahn at a university hundreds of miles away so going to manchester would be a lot more convenient

I was already thinking of going to manchester anyway so teh MAP would be a gratefly appreciated boost into teh university

Manchester has all the courses i wanted to do so the MAP would be very useful in helping me get onto those courses

I am very interesed in the team work and social skills building and meeting new freinds that the programme offers and the overnight stay

The programme would give me a much needed insight itno university life and consequently help me decide on exactly what path i would like to take in the future education wise ( or summit liek taht anyway)

And for question 2 i have absolutly no idea at alli don't know if its things like just turning up to all teh classes, putting in additioonal hours and attending all things availiable or if it wants summit more specific than that . But anyway hope this helps not sure if this is what you or tehy are looking for bt its what im gonna put ne way

Answer 2

Well, my dear, this looks like something you should be doing.

Here's an idea- write it up and post it on Yahoo Answers for constructive criticism. Some replies will help you with punctuation and spelling. Some may help with your grammar. And, some may help you rephrase a sentence or two to make your statement look professional.

Besides, many of us don't know what the Manchester University Access Programme is or does.
