    UCAS buzzword applying through school, gap year
    Yo~
    I'm taking a gap year and my teacher said it would be ok if i applied through the school. Anyway, I feel like getting everything done now - as I have completed all my exams and want to start completing my UCAS application and personal statement now, so I don't have to deal with it later.

    Anyway, I went to register and found that I need a buzzword. Should I go into school and ask the teacher for one? or does it not work like that? I was given a buzzword this year but forget it. So do I need to go in and ask?

    Some people last year decided to take a gap year at my sixth form, and yeah they had to get in contact with our head of year to find out what the buzzword was when they did their application again . If you didn't want to go in to ask, you could always call up and ask to speak to someone who will know the buzzword.

    I think going in will be better since he always seems to be busy = the 6th form head.

    Ah, fair enough . Did you apply through UCAS for 2012 entry? If you did, it's highly likely the buzzword will be the same.
