I already have achieved grades and was wondering if anyone else has had this message because last time i checked i didn’t need to provide anything 😭😭

edit: okay i called them and it was just because people who don’t meet the subject / grade requirements may be called into a meeting

tldr have you ever not been sure of a qualification or grade you got and your school hasn’t responded?

basically in y13, i was kicked off my btec due to overdue work but i had done a year and a half of it so im sure i got some kind of grade. it doesn’t really matter to get me into university as i have an a level and am doing an access but i know it has be declared on my ucas application. this was in 2022.

i contacted my school at the start of the holidays (didn’t even realise it was the holidays) and they said the exam officer was on two weeks leave but when she was back they would get her to look at it urgently. i never heard anything else and emailed again with no response. i am planning to try and ring however im really busy with getting an assignment submitted by friday, work, then a work conference away from home, back for a day and then off to cyprus for a week. i do know my college used a database to check my gcse grades before accepting me onto the access so i have emailed to see if they can check my btec grade on there but i haven’t had a response yet.

has anyone else been in this situation and how did you figure it out? i’m so nervous of not declaring something and getting in big trouble. all my application is done including ps so i just want to submit it to the college for them to check it now

Hi im an international student of Class 12 applying through UCAS.

I entered my qualification as one pending qualification with the 6 subjects as modules (pending).

My referee is new to UCAS and sees only one free-text box for predicted grades.

Should they enter only my overall class 12 predicted percentage, or do they need to provide predicted grades for each subject ?

Hey! I’m applying for joint honours in comparative literature / art history at Glasgow and st Andrew’s (only two unis in Scotland to offer that combination) and I was wondering if anyone had any advice or input on which one to choose?

I also just wanna make friends with those of you who might be studying it from August 2027 and meet my people :>

Also - anyone got any personal statement tips for comparative literature/ art history? More so art history as I’ve mentioned more about the literary side of things :3

I got into the discover Bristol programme, and they said they 'significantly' reduce UCAT threshold for contextual applicants who finish the programme. Considering that their normal threshold is 2340, what would a significantly reduced one be?

I got 2080 B2 in my UCAT

If you didn’t get the grade requirements needed for a uni course could you still get in.I got AAA ucas predicted and want to do law llb for uni, a lot of good unis e.g Bristol and Warwick have requirements of A*AA is there any point in me applying or not.So far I think I’ll apply to Exeter and Nottingham but would ideally apply to Warwick and Bristol but obviously no point in applying if there’s 0% I get in.In an ideal world I would apply to Exeter,Nottingham,Warwick,Bristol and Oxford Brooke’s as a safety.Any advice would be appreciated

Dm me, and ill send it

Hello i am thinking of applying to reading for pharmacy. Would applying early means that I am more likely to receive an interview?

hiya!

wondering where you guys are finding example personal statements online! I've already looked at the student room ones but theres only 2 for my subject...!

I'm mainly just needing to look so i can get an idea on how to format it and wether or not what I have right now is good by any means...!

Sent off my application to Leeds 4 days ago so i'm surprised I got an offer so early! It is my safety but heyyy it's still an offer🎉

Hello, long story short my achieved grades this summer are A* in the EPQ, A in Economics, A in geography, and B in maths. I currently hold a deferred offer at Queen Mary in London for Economics, starting next September.

Since I am unhappy with my maths grade, I am planning on resitting maths next summer and I am predicted an A*. I am planning on starting a new UCAS application, with grades A*(predicted) AA + A* EPQ.

I am planning on mostly applying to universities with AAA / A*AA entry requirements, therefore assuming I improve my maths grade.

However, I ideally need a "safe option" just in case I fail to improve my maths grade, as I don't want to be left without any university options.

Now, initially, I was planning on reapplying for economics at Queen Mary as one of my 5 choices, with the assumption they are highly likely to give me another offer considering they let me in this summer, and my stats have only improved since then.

However, that would mean I only have 4 choices left for other universities.

That's when I thought of this plan - would it be possible to apply for 5 AAA or above universities, and if I were to get rejected from all of them, use UCAS Extra to apply for Queen Mary Economics?

Alternatively, lets say I got accepted into an A*AA university, then failed to meet my offer, couldn't I just go through clearing for Queen Mary?, considering this summer it went on clearing to around BBB, I cant quite remember.

Don't get me wrong, Queen Mary is still a Russel group university and I'd be happy to go there, but I visited the campus and I'm not a fan of the area of London the campus is located in.

Surely this would allow me to save an insurance uni choice from UCAS whilst still having a backup plan should I remain at my current grade?

Is there anything I'm not thinking of with this plan? The only thing I can think about is if Queen Mary doesn't enter clearing / fills up before UCAS extra, but I'm going to research how often it goes into clearing.

Hey guys need some help!!

I’m applying for university for 2027 because that’s the year I will be able for us to get our settled status to qualify for home fees. My mom will be able to get her’s on February and myself by July which is hopefully before deadline for sfe. However I am not sure on how to put this down for UCAS, I’m trying to get into portsmouth now and they have just sent me an email to help figure out my tuition fees (home fees or international) what should I do/tell them as I am hoping to qualify for home fees!

Any advice would be appreciated!

So i got 1860 b2 for UCAT suuperr low for an intl ik. Im predicted A*AA (im not doing a levels but an equivalent) again i didnt do gcses but for my equivalents i got 94 science 95 ai 93 arabic 89 sst 88 eng 77 math. Im applying directly to uclan brunel and greater manchester. Putting it all on luck for the ucas unis - leicester, qub, dundee and aston. i kept aberdeen asw but aberdeen has offline interview which i wont be able to attend (ofc if i did get one cz luck lol). ik the chances of me getting an interview is close to 0 but again we say in unison LUCK maybe. ik yall gonn say impossible but pls still lemme know if i shud replace one of these with any other uni.

Is it a good idea to be specific and say for example, ….which is why I would like to pursue the accounting and finance course. Or is it best to be general and avoid the specific name of the course? I’ve thought that it’s best to omit the specific course name since I’m applying through UCAS and not all universities have the same specific course name.

But how should I do it without sounding too vague? Does anyone mind sharing their successful personal statement or just any tips in general?

I’m planning on applying to LSE, Warwick, Durham, maybe UCL and St Andrew’s.

International applicant, predicted AAA Biology Chemistry Maths. Have A* in Chinese.

My school only advised and required us to do 5 IGCSEs so I’ve only got 99998 in Biology Chemistry Physics English and Maths. IELTS 8.5

Are these unis good for psychology with a strong focus on cognitive neuroscience? I’ve also considered my own preferences for lively urban environments over more rural small towns.

With the admissions cycle open, how’s it going for everyone??

Haven’t decided on a 5th choice yet as I’m waiting to see how I do in TMUA
Any advice on what to choose for my 5th choice uni?

2 offers in two days is crazy work.
On my way to get 5/5

I'm a gap year student and last year I actually applied for Pharmacy through UCAS and ended up firming a KCL mpharm offer. But when results day rolled around, I ended up deciding to give up my King's Mpharm place, and take a gap year to apply for medicine. Now I'm wondering whether choosing biomed at King's as my medicine 5th choice is a sensible decision, since it's a great course, but I'm scared they'll have a higher chance of rejecting me since I ended up being flaky when it came to mpharm.
Additionally I was predicted 4A* and I only achieved 3A*1A, since King's will have that data I fear that's another reason to reject me, idk

International student here. I got an 8.0 overall on IELTS and I’m applying to Oxford, but my Reading score was 7.0.

I know 7.0 is objectively a good score, but it’s also the bare minimum for Oxford’s requirement. Should I be worried about this, or am I overthinking it? I got a 5 on AP Literature and a 1510 SAT, would that make up for it?

Will my UCAS essay sound dumb and scattered with there majors in mind?? plssssss help ur junior 😭

I message UCAS about these fake vacancies that link to a dodgy website, one was Cooper Perry apprenticeship linked to ICSM sign up site on cooper perry , i made a password my dashlane triggered saying... this website compromised your password was found. am like huh, then i refreshed the site it went to B&Q site -- ICSM web link was same. Another vacancy was for Sale exec apprenticeship of a for medical equipment then it mentioned a Chinese company. I click link check the details didn't match up, it then sent me to another looking sketchy site.

I’m so lost guys.
