I did! My dad got home tried twice and got through and proceeded to say "I don't know what all the fuss was about"! He just got lucky!

I am now going to be studying Speech Therapy! I have just finished a gap year and thought I was going to have to take another one to apply for it cos all the uni's had told me it was extremely unlikely there'd be any places in clearing. So :biggrin::

How about you? Did you get a place?

Just need to sort student finance out now lol xx

Ive been told I deffo have a offer over the phone like 3 times, even from the heads of department! but like you are all saying i can't think it's really true until UCAS says it!! Hurry up UCAS! I wanna buy my pots and pans for uni!
Someone told me that apparently there are only 120 working at UCAS clearing! If that is true that is a complete joke for the amount of people going through clearing! They knew before clearing opened how many people hadn't got into their firm/insurance so they could of gotten more people!
Im doing a new course this year, i will be studying Pharmaceutical chemistry at MMU.

I can remember going through clearing last year so if you need any help or advice, just get in contact :smile:

Well I initially applied for philosophy foundation, but they rejected me, because the conditional offer was me achieving my BTEC grades of PPP and Functional Skills English level 2 and Key Skills Numeracy level 2.

I achieved my BTEC and I got MERIT MERIT PASS, which is 200 UCAS points but the college never put me on Key Skills because I didn't have a city and guilds number so I never done it, also the Functional Skills there was this horrible teacher who was hardly in so I never was able to get any coursework done and wasn't even prepared for the exam, so I failed! Even all the other teachers were tealling us that she was making up all kinds of excuses to avoid coming in :s-smilie:

Well I emailed MMU countless times explaining this, but to no avail! Well I believe in a thing called Fortune, the MMU clearings say that they have some business courses still available and I believe that this was fortunes way of telling me I should do business! So tomorrow morning I'm ringing them up trying to get a place on a business course!!

I booked my accommodation and even emailed them to cancel it late Friday but then today I emailed them again to not cancel it! Good thing is that they don't work weekends, so hopefully my accommodation is still there! I really wanna study in Manchester so I'm not giving up! The philosophy department can go screw itself!
So what course is it you actually want to do?
