Anyone (like me) still not applied?

I'm still not sure if I'm even applying this year anymore, but it's still an option and I've got my personal statement almost complete (although I'm still not entirely happy with it).

Just wondering if there were any other lazy,disorganised,confused people or the those waiting for references out there?

I applied a couple of weeks ago, but I know theres still quite a few ppl in my school who havent applied yet. many ppl are still waiting for references and lots are lazy.. you wont be at much of a disadvantage at all if you were to apply now

I'm in mostly the same position, although I haven't actually written my personal statement yet (ooops!). I'm finding it hard to get motivated when I don't even know if I want to go to Uni or not.

I've not applied. Well, I sent it off to my referee on Thursday - after her saying on Tuesday "Have you done your UCAS thing yet?" "No?" "Well do it! I've set a deadline as today!". So yeah, I had to rush to decide my 5th University, but I'm pretty happy with my choices. My personal statement isn't excellent, I think it's average. Not entirely happy with it but hey, I never would be even after the 100th draft.

The reason it's not sent off yet is because my reference has not been written - but I'm going to talk to my tutor tomorrow and see if I can get it sent off... But loads of my mates haven't done theirs either (or have only just done theirs).

There are loads of people who haven't applied yet in my year! I mean at least 30, maybe more.

I haven't applied - Confused between whether to spend extra year doing A level law for 3 subjects, or applying for a foundation degree @ Nottingham.

Still waiting on my reference. I'm applying as an individual so getting quite worried as I wrote to my reference quite some time ago. Not sure what I'm going to do if she doesn't reply soon. eep!

Lol I was wondering where most of you lot were hiding. Pretty much everyone in my year at school has applied, well the ones who can apply anyway. (70% are only doing 1 or 2 A-levels so I doubt they'll apply.

I'm still pretty confused to whether I should take a gap year or apply. I pretty much change my mind every couple of days. I don't think we should be worried about being at a disadvantage though, I still believe in the whole 'equal consideration until January 15th' thingy.

I did apply (paid) a month or so ago, but my ex-head of year took four weeks to just send it off - they had the references from last year...

Is it 14 days after you've applied you're allowed to change you're application? I want to change a course at one university and change a university entirely.

Oh ****.

I know that you can substitute a choice up to 14 days either after your application was processed or 14 days after recieving your welcome letter, I forget which one.

You can substitute a choice on track so you can use that to change the university. Not sure if you can do it twice.

Wow, I really am no help lol. =P

lol gotta say i'm there will you all still, even though i'm a gap year applicant (should have done it ages ago) :smile:

i've done my personal statement just needs checking (ask a ps helper lol), my reference is ready (going to use the one from last year), i should have it done by the end of this week (hopefully) :wink:

i might add a few more details to my personal statement but overall i think its good. :wink:

hope the 15th january equal consideration still applies, it better lol :smile:

just hope

Just finished my PS, gonna get it checked by my annoying form tutor tomorrow, i saw my teacher writing up my references .. But something else worries me ... When do we have to worry about fees we gotta pay for university, because i gotta sign up to a place to get some financial support. I'd love to take a gap year but i've already wasted my time doing GNVQ urghhh :frown:

Don't worry about finances yet, if you're applying for the means-tested grants then the deadline is quite a way away still.
