One more sleep until #ALevelresults and #Clearing starts. Here are our last-minute tips to make tomorrow as stress free as possible.
Fingers crossed tomorrow brings more press coverage of 'the best A level results ever'! However, for those not so fortunate to secure their university place, here are a few tips from our team of education consultants on how best to handle the Clearing process.
- UCAS Track might update overnight, so you can check your
status online before collecting your results
- Be prepared. Have your UCAS ID and personal statement to
hand when you pick up your results
- If you go into Clearing, available courses are updated
regularly on the UCAS website and individual university websites. They are also
published in the Telegraph.
- You will be given a Clearing number, which you will need to
hand before contacting the universities.
- If you find a course you are interested in, call the
university to check. They may give you a verbal offer there and then. You
can take time to think before confirming your choice on UCAS.
- If you go into Adjustment, seriously consider this as a
possibility – there are some great courses out there which you could upgrade
to.
- The process is similar to Clearing. Call the universities
first before applying online.
- If you do not get the course you are hoping for, you may
wish to take time to consider other options, maybe a gap year with relevant
work experience. Don’t accept a degree course which is not what you want.
- If you get a place on a course which is not your original
choice, ask the university about accommodation and finance before making your
final decision.
- Dont sit around and worry alone. Seek help and support so you gain the reassurance of being on the right path to finding the right solution for your future as soon as possible.
