    Hi, I know it's different because of results day but could anyone give me guide to the process or just some information on how it differs from the mainstream route?

    I applied for university coming from a Level 3 BTEC in Computing (non extended) and I applied just like anyone else would if they were coming from A Levels.

    It doesn't differ almost any, you apply for the same courses and are dealt with in the same way as anybody else.

    If you have any other questions, throw them my way and I'll see if I can answer them.

    as we get our results before the A levels, do we find out if we have been accepted before them or do we have to wait until general A level results?
