I work on a Clearing Helpline, AMA!

I'm looking to do computer science and I believe I'm going to miss out on my conditional offer by 1 grade! Would you be able to tell me how likely or unlikely am I to get accepted into this course

Hi Airmed, apologies I didnt explain properly. My current firm choice is in clearing at the grades I already have. So is it possible tomorrow to ask them for a clearing offer instead of an unconditional firm offer so I have a clearing number to enquire about other courses?
Thanks
PQ any thoughts?

If you have the grades, it will change to UC F tomorrow. You can't go into Clearing on UCAS unless you reject all offers, and I severely doubt your uni would let you do that.

Can I call other universities without a clearing number? Can I explain my grades ect on the phone? Is it possible to get a potential verbal offer before I reject my current unconditional firm to go into clearing?
Thank you

Unis don't give out verbal offers anymore. You can still call other unis but then you would have to be released into Clearing if you are serious about taking an offer from elsewhere.

Are other qualifications like the EPQ considered if applicants are one grade below the entry requirements?

Sorry just to be clear, so its not possible for a University to guarantee an offer until I actually reject my offers and go into clearing?

In some cases, yes. It depends on the uni.

That depends on the uni and the course.

Do you think the EPQ would count for more if it was in a subject related to the degree you're applying for?

Eg EPQ on law for a law degree

For adjustment I believe there's no actual 'adjustment hotline' as there is with clearing, so would I call the uni's clearing number or is there a different number I call?

What are your chances of being accepted if you have 2 a levels at low grades?

What should I do if i get in my insurance but I want to enter clearing?

I was wondering if you can help me , i recently decided to change my uni course completely to Primary education but I realised i needed to pass the Skills Test so I have booked one, It says you need to take evidence of Initial Teacher Training Candidates Application but I don't have this because intend on going through clearing onto the course, Am I too late to do this through clearing? I'm really confused now, any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
