Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

UCAS help needed!! Please!

Hi,

I haven't yet received my reference from my referee and have just found out that he is on holiday. Has this ever happened to anyone? Is there anything that I can do?

Thank you for your help!

Please tell me this is in the wrong forum, you aren't applying for veterinary medicine, and this doesn't need to be done for the October 15th deadline...

Oh boy. You have approx 2 hours and 20 minutes left. Sort something out, sharpish.

Given that you have little hope of getting a reference tonight, I'd click the box to say my course does not require a reference and then submit the application. Then contact the unis on Monday to tell them the situation and get the reference there asap. It may not be accepted by the vet schools but the alternative is just giving up tonight.

Or find a new referee, get it changed on UCAS, and get a reference written, approved and submitted by the new referee within the next two and a quarter hours.

Go now, and try to save your application. Right now.

How can you leave something like this to the last 2 hours? Oo if it was me I would have been yelling at my referee like last month to get it sent already.. I doubt the vet unis will be lenient about this..

The option of no referee is probably the best option, but why leave it so late? :lolwut:

The vet I've been working with rather than my school. Thank you - I'll need it! (Fingers crossed the internet doesn't go down now...that'd be all I need!)
