I just submitted my application earlier and the ucas email said that it would take up to 48hours to process it. however, when I logged onto ucas it says I have a clearing number, but I haven’t received the welcome email yet. Does this mean I can apply on clearing now, or do I need to still wait?
Hi everyone, I’m a foreign student looking into applying to UK universities through UCAS. I’m a bit confused about how the process works from start to finish.
Would really appreciate any advice or resources from people who’ve gone through this!
I am applying to Bristol for law and was exploring it on UCAS when I saw that the most common grade was AAA for accepted students when the required grades are A*AA. I have noticed this for other unis too. Is this because of contextual offers or accepting near-misses or both.
Does anyone remember if any courses showed up for Clearing on the day of A Level/BTEC/IB results for UCL last year?
I’m planning to study Chemical Engineering in 2027 and I am currently writing a first draft of my personal statement; I will likely apply to Cambridge, Imperial, Bath, Birmingham, and Loughborough. It might sound silly but the thing that sparked my interest in chemical/process engineering was a game on Roblox called industrialist which is essentially a simplified sandbox energy plant simulator. Would it be insensible to write a sentence near the beginning of my personal statement mentioning this and how it led me to look further into the discipline?
I've got 39 predicted and a 7,6,6 in my highers, but my 7 is in Physics instead of Math
This is for oxford and imperial math 2027 cycle which sucks because those two have the best math curriculums I've seen.
I’m a year 12 thinking about applying to LSE to study politics. In my Alevels (history, politics, soc and epq) I’m predicted 3 A*s and an A. On their wesbite LSE say they look for strong GCSE results, which I think i kind of got (887777765). However, in my actual GCSEs I only got a 4 in english language. Its a pass but I chose to resit in November last year and got a 6 (which is what I was originally predicted). LSE said they require a minimum 6 in language, so would it matter if I got that after I resat? And are my GCSE results strong enough?
I'm an international student doing A levels rn and I have maths physics and chemistry, I'm for sure prediction A* in all 3 and I want to apply for mechanical engineering in these unis
Ucl
University of Manchester
University of Leeds
University of Bristol
University of Glasgow
50/50 I might write ESAT as well
What are my chances
Hi everyone! I'm a US student looking to apply to UK schools for Fall 2027 entry. I am working on my application currently, and I see a lot of stuff on the UCAS website with information about how uploading a transcript is a new feature. However, I don't see any place on the Education section (where it says it would be on the UCAS website) to upload a transcript. I've put in all my course grades as modules under my diploma qualification, but I still would like to upload a transcript. Please help or tell me if I'm just being stupid haha
Hey i was wonder whether clearing requirements are lower than standard offers?
most decent unis for econ offer the same grades and i dont want to downgrade too far..
How does an application containing 2 Achieved A level grades, with the 3rd subject not being sat due to extenuating circumstances yet predicted an A* look?
In the context of top 10s Warwick UCL Kings etc
I’m predicted a distinction but very, very afraid of getting a merit, as my current offer says I must get 104 UCAS points to get in.
Now multiple different websites and people are telling me different things:
—I’m under the UAL grading system and their website claims my Level 3 Extended Diploma will give me 120 UCAS points at a merit, and even more at distinction.
—My tutor said the same thing, 120 at merit.
—But UCAS claims I’ll only get 96 for a merit
(Although I’m on a slightly different subject than the one I picked for the calculator, but it’s the closest to mine I could find, I did Art and Design, not Creative Art). Is UAL correct and UCAS just didn’t add my exact diploma onto the calculator?
I applied through UCAS Extra for econ. with Finance and got the offer, although the personal statement was for CS 🙂. What do you think guys about the course knowing that I'm on board with it?
I'm trying to find out what the hardest thing was when applying to uni, whether you've already done it before or are currently going through this.
I want to go to kcl soo bad mostly because of the vivienne westwood gowns
Hi. I'm an international student and was wondering if GCSE/O-Level matter a lot for UCL? I've gotten alright grades, including a C in maths, however A* in English. Results for A Levels coming this summer, expecting A*s and A's. Am I eligible to apply for an undergrad course in sciences or not?
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
If I’ve applied for Warwick BSc management and got a condition of 38 in IB does this mean even if I get 36 I can still get into the course because the clearing requirement is dropped to 36?
My bf had a conditional offer with the uni of Leeds and he just got a message from UCAS saying his place has been confirmed and he’s accepted even tho his conditional offer clarified that he had to get over a certain grade in his IB exams which haven’t been announced yet. He hasn’t gotten a mail from Leeds admission about this, Is this a glitch?
