Never the end of the world!

The season we have all been waiting for has finally arrived. With Greenwich going 20 places up the league tables, it is now even more competitive to get into our prestigious university. A lot of really popular courses at Greenwich have even increased their tariff points. Hmmm. To be honest, nothing else has changed much since last Clearing; however I will do a little recap on how to apply for courses in Clearing. Clearing is only open to applicants who have complete results and a UCAS form for 2014. That means if you haven’t received your A-level or BTEC exams yet, then you cannot apply until you receive them in August.

Between now and the release of the A-level results it is pretty much quiet, especially since UCAS web-link has been down for a little over a week, there was no way for us to verify qualifications of applicants. This period is known as “EARLY CLEARING”, and is mostly for people who want to make last minute applications into university. “LATE CLEARING” occurs in August after the release of the A-level and BTEC results. Now this is the most busy part of Clearing, the days we all look forward to; the tears, the joy, the screaming and kicking; the days when students know which university they will be going to or not!

All in all students, it is never the end of the world, there is a chance for everyone somewhere.  Just think Bill Gates or even Mark Zuckerberg.

Toodles!
