Can’t accept clearing offer
Hi everyone, I’m hoping anyone might be able to give me some advice. I received a verbal offer from Newcastle University on Results Day and only have 5 days from receiving the offer to accept it. The problem is that I’m currently waiting for my old school to complete my UCAS reference, and I can’t accept the offer until this has been done.
I also can’t send it without a reference because i’d need permission from Newcastle to do so and i can’t make a new application because my application is now linked to the school.
I’ve already contacted my school about the reference asking them to do it asap, but I’m worried because the deadline is literally tomorrow. I’m also unable to call either my school or Newcastle at the moment because both their phone lines have been closed all weekend. I’ve been trying to complete an enquiry form on the Newcastle website but it hasn’t loaded for 3 days now so i’m losing hope.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or know what I should do? Is there anything I can do to make sure I don’t lose the offer while I’m waiting for my reference?
Any advice would be really appreciated!
