UCAS application

How do i answer this on my application

Do you, or will you, have any qualifications from this centre?

I left sixth form without sitting my a levels and am now currently applying as a private candidate...i recieved X's

At that exam centre (your sixth form) you did not - and will not - obtain any qualifications. So that answer would be "No".

However, you will need to list the exam centre where you will be taking your exams as a private candidate. Just list the start/end dates as May/June 2024 (or whenever you'll be taking your exams). You will then be able to list the qualifications you'll be taking there.

for my predicteds should i put the predicteds i had when i was at my former sixth form and i also changed a course so what should i do for that predicted grade?

You don't enter predicted grades - your referee does that. Who are you using as your referee? Your old sixth form? A tutor? Somebody else?

old tutor...thank you for the responses. final question; will quotes on my personal flag as plagiarism as they have on plagiarism checkers

OK. So you enter your grades as Pending. When UCAS notifies your old tutor that you've submitted your application, the'll update those pending grades to predicted grades.

If they are your "old" tutor, are they going to be in a position to make a prediction given that you say you "also changed a course"?


The "healthy margin allowed" which @Admit-One refers to above is 30%, I believe. So you having used the same quotes as others is unlikely to be an issue.

(Also, if your personal statement is genuinely your own work then you don't need to run a plagiarism checker anyway.)

Thank you soo much,,,final inane question (forgive me) im about to paste in my personal statement should i leave gaps in between, it appears that it wont be read in that form anyway. i might as well remove all gaps no?

You get 47 lines. If you have spare lines for the gaps, then include them as paragraph separators. As @Admit-One says, it makes it much easier for the reader.

thank you so much,,,i checked my ps on an ai checker and it says 65% is AI which is not true...surely universities will know...

I'm completely baffled. Did you write your personal statement yourself? Without any use of AI? (Even just to "polish" the grammar?) Then why run it through a plagiarism checker, which you mentioned in post #5 and why run it through an AI detector?
