What are your future plans if you get rejected from all 5 of your university options?

I've decided to do a food course at college Or maybe leisure and tourism

[Democracy]

There's always Clearing you know...

[Faint_x]

very unlikely youll get rejected from all 5 if you make realistic choices

[isawsparks89]

Don't worry about it unless it happens, jeez....

[pauleverest]

This is a hypothetical situation GUYS !

[Lucy Pevensie]

Go to university in the United States or France

[becky.fm]

Go into Extra (the step before Clearing if you get no offers as opposed to not meeting them). Or re-apply the year after i guess.

[Cate15]

Just reapply and take up a language in my year out while workign like crazy for university

[glassheart]

I would have a year out, sort out my qualifications so I could actually get in, save some money, see a bit more of the world, then reapply for '10.

OMDZ! you guys really aint gettin this thread r u ! The idea is to come up with some cool job or employment opportunities !

[eve_22]

Do another course (one more Access to HE) and reapply..A girl at my college applied to Oxford, was rejected, then took another course, applied the following year and got in! So I guess this is something i would do if I get rejected from all 5 (scary scary thought...)

[RosiePosiePuddingAndPie]

Mine was to become a tram driver (you only need your car driving licence for a year to get a job doing it)

[Echolife]

Well I'll just have to be a professional footballer.

[pauleverest]

ORRR a professional slob!

I have only applied for 1 place, if I'm rejected I have no idea what I'm doing . I will easily meet the grades so if I'm accepted results day will be cool just waiting for confirmation (unless they already see I'm going to make the grades and give me unconditional!?), but if I'm rejected I don't know if I should take a gap year and apply again, there would be no guarantee I would get accepted this time next year either!!

Maybe I could phone up directly and tell them how much I want to go there and ask if I could have deferred entry, then they could offer it to me via UCAS in this cycle so I'm secure just have to wait? I don't know how it works!

My PS is clear that I want to go there and I want to do that course (quite a unique one), so even if I decided to go for somewhere else via clearing they would see my PS (I think?) on the screen when I phone and they put in my name/ref on the computer, basically saying that I love another place and course! So it seems all or nothing from just 1 rejection not 5

I hope nobody gets rejected from all 5, that would be awful, just thinking about it is bad enough!

im in but i thought about paramedic training and then applying for med 5 years down the line

other ideas

set up a buisness
police force

I got my place through clearing nothing stopping you doing that

[LukeatForest]

I'll chop off my penis, finding myself locked in a mental home. After an operation to re-attach the aforesaid appendage I shall engage in a whirlwind affair with one of the 'special helpers' at yon mental institute, culminating in a deathly escape from a big scary looking building that peers ominously over a cliff-top, when me and my lover flee to far-flung Mexico to live in solitude. By January, the affair is over, I've re-applied for University, had my sanity certified by the government, and am free to continue my life.

I'm not really applying, but that's what I think all you lot should do. Except with the women, maybe you should be the one who has the affair with the loon?
