Can I go for clearing and apply to a totally different subject course?

Hey!!!

I just wonder if it is ok to apply for a subject that is totally different from what I applied before for UCAS in the clearing stage?

e.g: from engineering to social sciences?

Thanks

Sorry I forgot to mention... No extra personal statement needed for clearing right?

Btw, If I don't meet my firm choice, can I reject my insurance and go for
Clearing?

You've already asked that question in a different thread (and been given the answer).

Re other courses, as others have said, but I recommend you do your research now about what course and whether you'd be happy at the universities that are most likely to appear in clearing based on past years. That way you can act swiftly on the day.

Oh did I??

Thank you very much for always replying my thread and giving very detailed information!!!

How can I know which will appear in clearing and which will not?

You can't know for sure until results day. Then, Clearing lists are published with everything that is on it this year.

However, some unis start to list Clearing vacancies on their website from the start of results week. So you can check if you have a particular uni in mind. The lists will be incomplete so not all vacancies will be listed early.

You can also check last year's Clearing lists to get an idea of what might come up. This does not guarantee they definitely will appear this year!

Then when will the date of clearing be? The result day of a level or?

How can I found the list of universities and courses?

Many thanks!!!

The bulk of it happens on A Level results day.

You can find the full clearing lists on the UCAS website, but some unis will start to release their clearing lists a few days earlier on their own website

I did this earlier on in the month through Extra. I rejected all 5 of my offers for biochemistry and instead submitted an alternative personal statement to do physics at Leeds. It's best to email them beforehand and ask whether an extra PS is necessary as I had a friend who changed from nursing to history last year and didn't have to (which I must admit I thought strange). If you're totally set on changing routes, it might be best to do it now rather than during Clearing.
