How did you check if ucl has clearing? Also does kings have clearing and how do you check for any uni? Thx
@@suprvrse If you google 'UCL clearing 2022' it takes you to this page with FAQ for results 2022.
www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/undergraduate-results/results-day-2022 which states that it will not be participating in clearing this year.
I did this for each university on the 2021 list (sad, I know!) and a couple of others like Exeter.
Could you please make one for this year plssss 🙏

Thank you so much for this very useful video and for all the question responses. There seems to be quite a lot of offers via Clearing at the moment so fingers crossed for those wanting or needing a back up plan.
Glad it was helpful!
This is so useful!! Another great video Imogen! :)
Thanks Phoebe!!
I managed to meet my grades on Tuesday for Astrophysics at UCL, however this video was still great! It’s useful to know this stuff because other people around you might have or will go through it.
Thank you for great feedback. Gook luck with your studies at UCL!!!

Such solid advice that I wish I heard when going through clearing
Glad it was helpful!
Our school just did the 2020 papers in a hall with invigilators so the anxiety is killing me. Thanks for the advice
You are welcome. Good luck for Tuesday!
If you've met the grades for some universities that have given you an offer, can you still apply for clearing to see if you can still get into the unis that rejected you?
In Queen Mary’s on the clearing website some of the courses are closed, could this change on the day, is it worth enquiry about those courses on the day even if it’s closed?
I’m so scared cause like I can’t lie i feel like ima do bad, along sides that I don’t think what I chose for uni I’m gonna enjoy like fr :(((( I’m just stressed af
I am sure you will be fine. Results day is stressful for everyone and getting a new course via clearing can often be a better fit than the course you chose initially. Good luck for next week!
I get you frr I’m praying for the bestt
I really need help my course isn’t running anymore this year I have confirmed the course last year and do I get clearing number if I with draw from the course that isn’t running anymore? How do I with draw ?
Hi, thank you so much for this video! I was stressed about results day and not really knowing how clearing works so this was a massive help. I noticed that you've commented info about which unis were participating in clearing for the past two years and how many places they were likely to offer, I was wondering when this info becomes available and where we can find it? Thank you! :)
No worries at all! Sorry I've only just seen this, but now it should be on the cleaning website.
Ngl, this vid helped quite a lot. I got BBC and I'm going on to study Mathematics and Statistics at Queen Mary University in London now, if not for ur advice I deffo wouldn't have been that ambitious but u were right.
Congratulations Emmanuel!!!! I am so pleased the video helped. I have just posted another video looking round QMUL!! It is a great uni. I have a few friends there and they really enjoy it.

Thanks for the video 🌹
I started an application for the September 22 intakes, received offers, and met the academic requirements but did not meet the English requirements.
Anyway, should I withdraw my previous application and start a new one on September 23? (i am not interested to use cleaning )
I started a new application two days ago while keeping the previous one and was putting in some details but have not submitted it. I suddenly couldn't find my new application.
Thanks in advance
I missed the deadline and have no clue how clearing works..it says I need to pay send off my application just to see the courses that are available in clearing? I was literally a minute late over the deadline
my clearing tip is to be sneaky with your courses and suggest joint honours if the exact course you wanted isn't on clearing but a similar one is! i had a friend who contacted york about their listing of politics in clearing when she was due to study history. when the woman on the phone said she'd be able to offer her a politics place, she asked whether there was the potential for a joint honours with history, even though history wasn't listed on clearing. she was offered a place for history and politics in the end, just from asking. it might not work out in every situation, but it's really worth asking!
That is great advice and I have friends who did similar with an Economics course and an English course. They went from a single honours to a joint honours with lower grades and not listed in Clearing. With Clearing you have to ask!
Imogen, I can't tell you how scared I am for my results. My predicted grade is triple Ds and I hope to get a higher grade for the A level exam. Wish me luck as I am hoping to go to a uni that offers me a 3 years course instead of a 4 years course
Good luck, Neezam! I have my fingers crossed for you. Do let me know how you get on. Usually if you do well on a 3 year course, universities let you trade up to a 4 year course if you are averaging a 1st or a high 2:1.
Praying for you! I’m sure u will do well!!
P
@@ImogenWhite say you got an offer for a sandwich course but didn’t get the grades would you be moved to the normal full time course?
@@hannahthompson8000 Quite possibly. Often universities offer a similar or alternate course rather than rejecting you. Good luck!
Very informative video! Does this process of seeing if your clearing uni choice accepts you happen in one day? Or will getting into a uni happen over a few days?
Usually it happens in one day. Last year a friend of mine held two Clearing places on results day, then went to visit both university over the weekend before confirming which place she wanted. Do not rush the decision!
Hi Imogen, did you join any societies or clubs in university? Since I might be going to uni this september, I am tempted to try the taster sessions
I joined Geography Society and International Media and Journalism Society.
I need to EXACTLY WANT KNOW WHERE IS THE 'ADD CLEARING CHOICE' button?!?! It says in help and videos and says just click on the 'add clearing choice' button. Where is it? So frustrating!!!😠How do you get the clearing number ??!! How do you get there??!!
Great video! I would like to know how long does this clearing time is, and if is obligatory to do this as soon as you get your results. Another question how does this work for btec?
Thanks for your help
Clearing stays open until October, so you don't have to rush into it. However, places are filled quickly on some courses. Clearing works the same as A levels for Btecs. You phone up with your grades and if you meet the requirements you may be offered a place.
@@ImogenWhite Thank you so much!!!!!
Heya thanks for the great video I wanted to ask my application is for medicine and if I don’t get in I’m planning to apply for computer science, can I still do that because my personal statement is for medicine ? Thank you 🙏
Yes you can! Universities will focus on your grades mainly for clearing places.
How would i add a clearing choice? I have been accepted into my first choice uni but it is a foundation year, ive called up the uni and ive been accepted into the course without foundation year but they told me to apply via clearing. Would i have to decline my first choice to apply through clearing?
Yes, you have to decline your original place. Then you would enter clearing and add your new course.

Hi I have a question about accomodation: i applied to manchester and would basically take any course to go there but i think i woudl really only want to go to Fallowfield (which is like one of the groups of accom) - how do i check alongside that there's still space for me there before choosing a course through clearing / if i get a course through clearing, do i need to reapply for accomodation or will it be the same application as before? Sorry i don't know if that makes any sense basicallly just confused about accomodation and clearing!
You need to check the accommodation page on UoM website to see how accommodation is allocated. Good Luck.

We did different stuff in each subject and I unfortunately got really bad depression during most of my second year so I don’t even remember half of it, I went from being an a* student to barely scraping a C
I hope everything turns out OK tomorrow. You can always take the October exams if your grades do not reflect your ability. My brother took the October exams last year and went from a CAG of a C to an A grade. Good luck!

How would deferring a place work? Do most unis tend to accept those that was to defer a place and is it possible to defer in clearing
I deferred my place the day before A level results 2 years ago. I simply emailed the admissions tutor of my course and had a reply back within a few hours agreeing to the deferral.
If you are in Clearing, it may be easier to make a fresh application to your choice of course/uni with your grades in hand rather than rush the decision this summer.
Hi Imogen ! thank you so much for this video, it’s really helpful! in my case, if I get better grades than expected I may be able to change the course I would like from one with a foundation year to one without. Does this count as adjustment? thanks :)
If you do better than expected you can go through adjustment. If you just want to change course within the same department at the same university there will probably be a 'Change my Offer' request form on the university's website. This is the one on Reading University's website (half way down the page).

Hi! What happens if you got advised to only book accommodation for your firm choice and you don’t get the grades for it, what then happens with the insurances choice accommodation?
Hi Ellie
It really depends on the university. If you have booked accommodation and paid the deposit, you will get it back if you don't get the grades. Some universities guarantee accommodation for insurance students, others will group you together with clearing students and accommodation is given on a first come first served basis. Good luck, I am sure it will all work out for you.
really informative video! What if i don't get the grades but I appeal my grades, will the universities hold that place for me? I'm doing SQA advance highers. I contacted the university but they are not going to open till resutls day
If you appeal your grades and are upgraded, universities are required to honour your original offer and hold your place. Your school's exam officer will help you and guide you through the process. Hopefully you will not need to appeal. x
Thank you
You're welcome
Jesus will punish LSE and the University of London because of this fraud.

Question: can I go to clearing even if I got into my insurance? I've moved to Manchester ready to go to UoM but my insurance is in Chester which I obviously can't reach
Yes you can go into Clearing even if you meet your insurance offer.
Since 2019, UCAS has allowed applicants to release themselves into Clearing through a 'decline my place' button. This is an irreversible decision and it is therefore extremely important that you fully understand the implications and have a verbal offer from UoM first.
Good luck!
I just got rejected from uom I appealed for my grades let’s hope it goes up and I can go back to uom I hate my insurance I don’t wanna go
i’m so petrified, just got my ucas grades at BBB even though they are meant to be optimistic, and my actual mocks i got BBB so for a years time they’ve said i’ll make no improvement?!? i’m hoping to get into bath where i need A*AA, will i have a lot of trouble applying with such low predicted even though i know i can get those grades
For Bath, you will struggle to get an offer for a A*AA course with predictions of BBB. UCAS forms do not need to be sent off until mid January, so you 5 months to work on your grades and prove to your teachers that you are worth an A*AA prediction. Bath do not usually take part in Clearing, so it important to get an offer during the normal round of UCAS applications. Good luck!

Does it have to be the course you chose for example sociology or can it be any course?
Hi Samira! No you can actually apply to any course through clearing, it doesn’t have to be the one you applied for originally. However, it does help to have a personal statement that’s vaguely related!
Hey Imogen , I got an offer for the course I want but it shows that I didn’t accept it in time and now has been automatically declined . Should I call to enter clearing or can I still enter without clearing
What should I do?
Phone the university ASAP. A level results are not out yet so your place may still be there. Universities have to have cut-offs, my brother missed the accommodation deadline due to an email going into junk but it all worked out OK and he got his first choice in the end. Good luck!
I'm super late but do I still need a reference?
through clearing can u still pick the same course with a foundation year at the same uni ?
Yes, you can if it is in clearing and you meet their requirements (which are often lower if the course is in clearing).
I have 2 choices and I don’t want to go to them anymore so I want to self release into clearing for another course, sooo stressed
Fingers crossed it will all work out for you!
Hi i have got a question when can you start accepting uni offers for example if you get an offer early do you have to accept the early .
Once you have all your offers in you have until 8th June 2023 to accept your firm and insurance universities. You can do it before this date if you have a clear firm/insurance, but there is no hurry - your offer can not be withdrawn!
Question: I accepted a uni offer but have now decided I want to take a gap year. What happens tomorrow if I meet my grades and get accepted onto my course. Is there anyway I can still take a gap year?
Yes, most courses will let you defer for a year, and might welcome it this year if they have over-offered. I did this two years ago the day before A level results. I simply emailed the admissions tutor for my course. The only courses that do not like deferrals are maths based courses. Good luck for tomorrow!

Hii Imogen, what do you think someone should do if they get 3 U's and do you think they will be able to get into a university through clearing with that grade?
You need a minimum of 2 grade Es or equivalent to secure a UK university place and funding. A gap year will be your best option.
I got Lower grade than university requirements ..can I get admission in UK university through clearing?
It really depends on the university. Most universities in clearing will accept a grade or two below their published requirements. However, my brother got ACC and was rejected from a course that required BBC (because they needed a B in maths). You need to ring up with your grades and see what they say. Good luck.
thank u so much for the video ! i have a question , if i were for example were to get an MMP and the clearing course i want to apply to is DDM for example would there be a point applying?
If a university has vacancies, there is nothing to lose by trying. My friend got on a BBB course with CDD! Good luck!

Also if i applied for your student finance to get paid to a different university, would i have to reapply on the government website if i ended up going to a compleyely diff uni?
Yes, you need to confirm with student finance the course, university and its length after results. They usually get in touch with you.
this video is so helpful, i’m considering going through clearing because i’m not sure about the university i’ve applied for and want to go for somewhere better. do you have any advice on how to choose what course to do?
My advice is to think about what you would like to do as a career in the future and work backwards. What degree would best help you to reach this goal?
Or if you are like me and have no idea about a future career, what A level did you enjoyed doing the most? Put this into Clearing and see what comes up. I applied for politics initially, but enjoyed my Geography A level the most. If you put Geography into Clearing you will find courses on urban planning, geology, climate science, global health, disaster management as well as the usual human/physical geography degrees. Look at the course modules and see what interests you. Good luck!

Hii, what if i want to change my course but it is from the same university should i do clearing or do an internal transfer. pls help thank you
Phone the university on results day or maybe email them before. Universities get the A level results a week before students so will be making decisions about near-misses. They will know if there is space on your new course and if you meet the requirements. Good luck!
You went to the school i'm going to now!
On the UCAS website, there’s courses that are already available for clearing, but not the one i need. On the actual results day, could that course appear for clearing? due to some people not getting grades?
Yes, courses are added and taken off all the time as the fill up or vacancies become available. Universities get your grades a week before you do so they will add courses to clearing as students do not make the grade. Also there are people like me that email universities before results to request a gap year, so freeing up a place.
As an international student if u meet the entry requirements….then is the uni bound to give unconditional offer?
In Clearing, yes.
In the normal application process, no. Places like LSE and Oxbridge reject many excellent candidates who meet or exceed the entry requirements.
@@ImogenWhite Oxford rejecting people that exceed their required grades ! Why ?
@@rodgervinsmoke8220 Places like Oxford get 10 times as many applicants with the required predicted grades so they will reject people after their entrance exams have been sat, then reject more after interview. Only the top candidates get offered places, many excellent candidates are rejected.
hi, do you have to phone or can you email them? i have huge phone anxiety but if it’s a must then i’d have to. also im predicted low grades due to a sudden change in my person life and now i don’t think i’m going to meet the BCC conditions i received , do clearing lower their requirements?
You can email but it is faster to phone. Maybe a friend could help you. Often cleaning does lower their requirements. My friend got on a BBB course with CCD.
HI)Thanks for the video!
Do I need a covering letter and recomendation letter for clearing? I am an international student. Would a university consider my application only basing on a language proficiency level and grades?
Did I understand everything clearly? You can make only one choise through the clearing system and only in case it rejected - you can make put another option on track. Does a verbal approvness from university usually means that you would be accepted or there still a great chance, that they can still regect your application
No covering letter required, just your grades for clearing, unless you are putting in a first UCAS application then you will need a personal statement as part of the UCAS form.
Do I have to call the uni before adding them to my clearing choice ?
If you enter Clearing, you are able to directly contact universities to see if they have a place available on a course you are interested in. This is usually done by phone (although some universities, like Liverpool, do Clearing online). You can search for available vacancies via the UCAS website, make a list of universities you think you may be interested in and then give them a call.
Universities can then make you a verbal offer. Once you have this, you can enter it into your UCAS Track. On Results Day, this can be done from 2pm - this allows you to call several universities and gives you some time to consider your options. Universities will often give you a time period to enter your choice on Track - they don’t want to hold places for people who may not be interested. Once you’ve submitted the choice on Track, the university will then formally accept your place.
What if you took a gap year and u already sent your results and got an unconditional offer do i still have to do any of these?
No, you can decline your unconditional place and go into Clearing or take another gap year!
say i applied to psychology but didn't make my insurance or firm choice, and i decide during the clearing process that i don't want to do psychology anymore, could i apply to anything during clearing? for example, i apply for english literature during clearing or is it the case that i can only apply to what i was applying to initially?
You can apply for anything. My friend was holding offers for Law, she did not get the grades and ended up choosing an English course at a very good university via clearing. Good luck.

Also another question, if I get rejected from a course in Queen Mary’s, can I enter clearing for another different course in Queen Mary’s. Thx for taking your time out of your day to help us
Also, can you apply for a course that isn’t related to your personal statement or subjects?
Yes you can. This happened to my friend. She was rejected for Economics at her first choice uni, but got offered Economics and Management through clearing at the same uni.
Can I go through clearing even if I meet the requirements for my insurance choice?
Since 2019, UCAS has allowed applicants to release themselves from their insurance (or firm choice) into Clearing through a 'decline my place' button. This is an irreversible decision and it is therefore extremely important that you fully understand the implications.
You need to phone the university you want first and try to get a verbal offer or at least know that your chosen course is definitely available and you meet the requirements before pressing 'decline my place.'
When does UCAS Track open, is it 6AM?
UCAS receives your A-level results directly and will update Track accordingly - typically around 8am on results day. It then crashes around 8.01am as everyone tries to find out where they are going to university!! Keep trying, it will work in the end.
Do you have to write a new personal statement if you end up doing a different course than what you originally planned ?
Not usually. Clearing places are usually based on grades alone. However, if you are changing from Midwifery to Politics, a department might ask you to speak to an admissions tutor about your change of course or write a short supplementary statement.
Hey if if I got AAA for a levels
But I got a 3 in gcse maths
Do you think It’s still possible
It depends on the course and university. If it is an essay subject, you will probably be considered but some universities have a minimum requirement of a 4/5/6 in Maths and English. Good luck!
I got my grades but my Uni have asked me to start in January instead and I’m considering going through clearing... I’m not sure though. is anyone else starting in January? Do I have to reject both my offers before going through clearing? For nursing we did interviews, will I have to do another interview?
Do not reject your offer until you have spoken to other universities. Could you speak to the university you are holding an offer at with your reasons for needing to start in September and see what they say first?
@@ImogenWhite yeah I think I’ll do that. Cardiff is the best uni for nursing (behind Glasgow and Edinburgh) so I think I’ll probably just end up taking up the offer to go in January! just panicked a bit because all my friends are starting in September and I didn’t even know you could start in January.
@Stacy TV where are you going?

Hi I have a question, if you want to change the course at your firm uni?
Can you apply through clearing at your firm uni?
You probably will not have to go through clearing so please DO NOT decline your place. You will need to email admissions. Most universities have a 'Change my offer' request form.
This is the one on Reading University's website (half way down the page):

Hii, can you still apply through clearing if you meet your university choices grades
Yes, but you have to asked to be released from your 'firm' course to go into clearing so it can be a bit of a risk.
If you don’t make your firm option do you have to go to your insurance option or can you go straight to clearing ?
Yes you can go into Clearing even if you meet your insurance offer.
Since 2019, UCAS has allowed applicants to release themselves into Clearing through a 'decline my place' button. This is an irreversible decision and it is therefore extremely important that you fully understand the implications and have a verbal offer from another university first.
Good luck!
@@ImogenWhite if I get into my insurance choice, would it say ‘congratulations you have a place at…..” or would it just say im in clearing? thank you
@@userk-mt3lg If you get into your insurance choice it will say 'Congratulations! Your place at [uni name] for [course title] has been confirmed.'
Hi I have a question. There is currently a list of unis in the UCAS website that are listed as being 'in clearing', are these the only unis that will be in clearing on the day? Or can more unis open up for clearing later? If so, is this likely? Thank you : )
The universities that are showing in Clearing now will be the only ones. These universities won't be in Clearing:
Bath - We don't expect to have any vacancies
Cambridge: No adjustment or clearing spaces. They do run a special adjustment scheme for rejected applicants meeting certain criteria, but you will have been contacted about this if eligible.
LSE: "We do not envisage being in adjustment or clearing this year."
Imperial: No clear statement as yet. Suggested wording that they won't be advertising Clearing vacancies.
Oxford: Does not participate in clearing, extra, or adjustment.
UCL: No statement yet - occasionally limited adjustment places.
St Andrews: Doesn't usually have clearing spaces.
Durham: No clearing or adjustment spaces.
If you check the Manchester university website it says they will release their clearing vacancies on Monday at 2pm so maybe other unis will do the same?
@@rehnumachowdhury3629 do you know how I go through clearing into Manchester tomorrow if I don't know my grades?
I've firmed politics with economics but I want to switch to politics and international relations at a different uni. Should I change my personal statement or can i just use my current personal statement?
If you go through clearing to change course, your grades and A level subjects will be more important than your personal statement. So no need to rewrite especially as both courses are politics focused. Good luck.
@@ImogenWhite okay then. One more thing. One of the courses I want to apply for is asking for a 7 in maths at gcse but I got a 6. Would it still be likely for me to get in or is gcse grades non-negotiable?
@@Ben-vm1th It depends on individual universities and how heavy the maths course content is for the course you are applying for. You can only phone up and ask...it is worth a shot!
@@ImogenWhite okay then. Thanks for the help❤️
if you don't meet your firm grades can you still call them up and see if they'll give you a place?
If you don't make your Firm's grades, they will have made the decision already to accept or reject you- universities get your results one week before you do. UCAS track updates at 8am on the 18th August, usually before you get your A level results, so you know if you are in before you open the results envelope. If your Firm choice rejects, you can call the university and see if they will offer you an alternative course with your grades. Good luck!
what if you dont get your firm choice but you get your insurance and still want to get into your firm choice can you still go through clearing?
You can, but not for the same course. Universities get your exam results a week before you, so will have carefully considered near-misses. If they have rejected you for say, Law, they might have places in clearing for 'Law and anthropology' that they might consider you for with slightly lower grades. So same course, firm uni is a no, but slightly different course at firm uni might be possible.
Hey Imogen, I’ve got a question. Do universities lower their entry requirements when clearing? And do they accept UCAS tariff qualifications when we apply directly to the university or is it only if we apply via the ucas.
It really depends on the university and course. Some will lower the entry requirements quite significantly, whereas others will only take you with the exact grades published for the course.
@@ImogenWhite I applied for a uni through clearing. In their website it said 96 ucas points. When I got the conditional offer letter it said 72 ucas points. Does that mean they’ve lowered the entry requirements.
@@kalindu754 Yes, they have lowered the clearing entry requirements to fill places. My friend got on a course with CCD when the usual offer for that course was BBB on their website. Universities do not want a lot of empty places and will often take a chance on you.
Great video! But I'm currently shitting myself, does anyone know if Leeds are lenient when it comes to accepting candidates for Law????
Thank you! I do not know the answer to your question, but Leeds has announced it will not have any clearing spaces so it will want to keep the students who applied to fill their course places. Good luck for Tuesday!
@@ImogenWhite Fingers crossed🤞🏾
Definitely subscribed
hi imogen! could you possibly reply with the link of the clearing website where I can see the list of available courses? xx
www.ucas.com/clearing-launch
is clearing only a thing for students with English citizenship/A-levels students??
No, it is for everyone who applies through UCAS.
Hey, if clearing is in results day, how come on google it says Tuesday 5th July 2022? that's what confuses me
It opens in July as there are many students holding no offers (5 rejections- I have heard of a student with 4 A stars predicted with 5 rejections for politics), many who have taken the IB exams so get the results in July and others that have not applied get for a university place so can go straight into clearing.
@@ImogenWhite Yes!! when I called Lancaster they said it's for BTEC students as they have their grades already BUT does that mean people who take a levels like me won't have that much availability for results day clearing as IB/BTEC students would have clearing opened to them first in July?
how long does it take
Clearing can take from a few hours... or a few days. Often you are given time to make decisions.
I need help :) I haven’t done a levels or been in education for two years, I didn’t even think about uni but I really wanted to study language so I called up two days ago for a uni in London for clearing with no clue on what to do or how uni even works. They asked me for my grades and said I have a high chance even though I don’t have a levels or decent grades. And then just said to wait 10 days for an email and was given my own user ID to take note of. I was told to make an account with UCAS so I did. But I feel like I’m missing a step and I’m not even sure what email I’m waiting for, and there’s only 10 days left to apply for the course and I’m not sure what to do.
Also I’ve made a ucas account and have no idea how to use it :,) I haven’t wrote a personal statement or anything. I’ve just called up the uni and asked to help me get into foundation modern languages through clearing and that’s it. It’s all last minute :)
It sounds like you have done everything you need to do. Wait for the email or call up the university again. What university is have you applied to?
@@ImogenWhite okay thank you! And it’s birkbeck university in London.

Also you said ucl has no clearing, on the day can it change?
No, UCL will not take anyone through clearing. If you are set on UCL, a gap year and applying for 2023 entry is the way forward.
UCL took part in Clearing Plus which is slightly different from clearing for 2023 entry. It might be worth calling them up on the results day but I imagine it will depend on ur fee status and whether u are under the WP scheme.
Before 2023 entry, UCL has never taken part in clearing.
UCAS clearing is basically the NFL free agency.
I think I’ll get A*BC when I need ABB for my course at Uni of Manc. You think that will level out the grades so I’ll get accepted ? I hope unis are more lenient this year missing by a grade cos of COVID🤞
I hope you do! UoM usually accept a dropped grade. My brother needed BBC for Reading Uni last year and got ACC. He was rejected for his course even though his course was in clearing! He had to take the October exams and improved his C grade to an A. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Say if I denied a uni offer before, would I be able to pick that uni through clearing?
Yes, if they still have places available in Clearing and you meet the requirements for the course.
Hi I’m hoping you can help, Ive applied to my unis to start in 2022 so they know I’m deferring a year. I get my results on Tuesday, do I still go through clearing then or will it be next year? Xx
If you don't get the grades for your firm or insurance (whether deferred or not) you will go into Clearing. You can apply through Clearing for a place this year or a deferred place for 2022 (a limited number of courses) or apply from Mid September onwards for a 2022 place with grades achieved.
I deferred my place the day before results as I was not certain about my chosen university (University of Manchester) or the course. I then withdrew my deferral in October and applied for a course at LSE. LSE never takes part in Clearing. You are lucky, you have time on your hands! Good luck Amy.
Thanks so much for your help! Thats really cleared it up :)
How can I apply in more than one clearing course on different uni? Is that possibile?
Yes, you can. You can get lots of oral offers then choose one to add your to UCAS.

What if you are rejected with clearing what will I do ?
keep going or give up or do a gap year and reapply
Gap years are your best friend! Have some time to consider what you actually want to do, it's a lot easier to figure things out when you're off the conveyer belt of school - sixth form/ college - university!
i forgot to jot down my clearing number before track became unavailable, can i still see my number on results day?
You won't get a Clearing Number until results day. If your Firm and Insurance reject you or you 'decline your offer' you go into Clearing and you are shown a Clearing Number on Track.
@@ImogenWhite i declined my offers in june so i have technically been in clearing since the start of july, would i still be able to see my clearing number tomorrow

hey, do you need to redo a personal statement ? xx
No usually. Most universities are interested in your grades, but the admissions tutor may speak to you to find out your motivation for a new direction if the course is totally different to your previous application. Eg. changing from Midwifery to Politics (a friend of mine did this!)
@@ImogenWhite thank you so much xo
I'm so nervous for Clearing! I've changed my mind about both my firm and insurance and now want to go to Glasgow so I'm really hoping they have places for my course, if they don't I have no idea what I'm going to do :(
Make sure you check if your course is available in clearing by checking UCAS' Clearing site.
Remember, not all courses are shown in clearing so give the university a ring tomorrow and see if there is a place available. You can always take a gap year and apply to Glasgow for 2022.
Good luck!

Hi I'm currently in clearing and I've contacted with a university via email but there's still no reply. I also have all of my results , do I have to wait until 09 August?
Clearing opened on 5th July and universities receive A level results a week before 10th August. They often don't reply to emails or phone calls during this week so they know exactly how many places they have to offer and how many near-misses they will accept. So it looks like you may have to wait until Tuesday for your email to be answered.
Is it for masters as well
no, just undergrad courses.
@@ImogenWhite ah okay, thankyou miss for responding.🙂🙏

I feel that teachers are being way too generous and offering nearly every student A's.
There's definitely some grade inflation on last year and previous years but there's not really an alternative as the algorithm proved last year
