Does everyone get an email from UCAS on results day saying your application has changed or not ?


I didnt until 4pm the day after results day, so dont count on it! Just check track manually (remember to have your login details in front of you as track doesnt allow saved usernames and passwords on results day, they have to be typed in manually). It usually updates around half an hour before 8am but it differs every year.

Only the 7/8 of people who have an update. And not at 8am on the dot. The emails go out in batches.


Around how many students wait for uni confirmations on results day each year?
Awkward moment when you've prepared an inspiring speech to help kids from your old school get to uni but don't get in yourself...

Well, unless things have gone seriously wrong we are reaching the point where grade boundries will now be almost set in stone and some one, somewhere out there knows our grades already. I'm ready for results now. It just can't come fast enough.


Would appreciate if that person would send me an email with my grades plz

Nope it was such a pain as well as I had my password written down but couldnt find it, after a few attempts it let me in. But be aware these things do happen so make sure you have your username and password written down and accessible x

Hahaha well the diving is really cool to watch and the gymnastics is amazing as well so I'm quite pleased, and the fact that they're good looking is a convenient bonus

1/8 of applicants won't have a clear decision on results day.

This is explained in the faq of the first post in this thread iirr.

That sounds awful!!! Thanks for the info.
It's the small handful of people who are still in the dark for a few days after results day that I feel most sorry for - that wait must be torture.

My insurance uni ( Manchester ) has emailed me saying that they 'might ' have to keep me waiting for a few days if I were to ' narrowly ' miss my offer so I'm a bit scared aahh

Don't forget that a significant chunk of the 7/8 have a definite answer that they're in clearing.

Results day is stressful for everyone. For a lot of people that stress will continue for days or even weeks or months as they figure out the best way forward.

Even people who get in end up with a lot feeling very deflated and down after an anticlimax of a results day.
