It's a scary thought but may be the case that some of your top choices haven't made you an offer, however, it's certainly not the end. When clearing opens it allows you to regain control and find a place that values what you've got to offer, whether that's just for a year until you can reapply or transfer or for your full degree. Here's our checklist of what to do now: Don’t panic There’s still time through UCAS Track and Clearing to find somewhere great for you. Take a minute Step back and take a minute to review what YOU want from a uni experience. Before you start searching think: - What degree you’ll achieve? - Do you prefer small workshop learning or big lectures? - How does the timetable fit and is it flexible? - Will you choose to study full or part-time? - Would you prefer to move to a city or stay close to home? Research Based on what you want, start searching for a new course, location and provider. Use your time ahead of Clearing to make enquiries and ask questions. Make enquiries You may not have to wait for clearing to make an application. In some cases, you can either adjust your choices through UCAS or apply direct. This means you might receive a new offer ahead of results day. Plus, if you already hold qualifications or relevant experience, you may be able to secure your place before results day. Apply Make your application. You can update this on UCAS or make a direct application dependent on your situation.
