Clearing/Adjustment for Ucl

I have recently just been rejected for UCL EEE due to my predicted grades(A* A B) one grade below the entry requirements.
I was wondering if on results day - (I managed to get better A-Level Grades, well above the entry requirements) - Call UCL and ask them kindly for if they have any spaces left for this course.
Reason - other students perhaps rejected UCL to accept their firm choice at Oxbridge or Imperial, others.
How likely is this to happen?
Do I have to reject all my other choices inorder to contact UCL about this and or go into clearing/adjustment?

People say it's unlikely for UCL to go into clearing. But just last year they did (perhaps due to the 2022 v 2023 shock in grade boundaries). I'm not sure what EEE is, but it's worth a shot. Why not? Just focus on getting great grades in the meantime!

You should certainly call and check whether there are any spaces on the day but don't be set on it, it's unlikely. Please don't reject your other offers before calling, only after they give u an offer reject others. I got an offer for the course so I hope I can see u in Sept Good Luck!

heyy, omg, when did you get your offer and are you either contextual or international? i’m still waiting for ucl EEE :’)

hi, i got mine early jan, applied before oxbridge deadline and am contextual. good luck!

Hi, i did the same exact thing for Economics last year. So i initially didnt get an offer from UCL and after I got A*s in all my subjects i called the UCL admissions team on the day that results came out and asked them for any open positions. They gave me an offer for Economics and Eastern European Studies, but I ended up going with my firm choice which was Economics at KCL. If you do get great grades in August i suggest that you try because you never know. You will not be asked to reject all your other offers until they send you an official offer by email and you choose to accept it. Be prepared to call them numerous times until they get back to you since on results day, lines are very busy and also start calling early on

Just noting that Adjustment isn’t a thing anymore, so your only option is Clearing.

I'm a bit confused now - what if I call UCL and they happen to give me a place - isn't that basically "adjustment"?

Adjustment let you ‘trade up’ if you exceeded the grades required for your Firm choice. It allowed you to apply elsewhere whilst holding on to your current place.
Most unis will not make you a verbal clearing offer whilst you are placed elsewhere. You can try, but it could be a waste of time getting through to them if you are not currently eligible and it’s the first question they ask.

But it has worked before though as Katerina had posted earlier, she was able to get an offer from UCL by calling them on results day for Economics, which is a lot-more competitive than Engineering Courses, especially EEE.
She did also say that I need not to decline my firm and insurance when calling up UCL, as that would be risky - its better to know the result of the outcome of "asking for a place" beforehand.
