Nawwww love. Its a little rumour that goes round every year. You cant even log on until about 7am, at which point, whether you've been successful may or may not be updated by then.

Sorry (:

Wouldn't do it to be honest. A friend of mine checked and found out she was rejected from all her universities before she could even find out her grades. She was going mad trying to figure things out on the 2 hour journey to school

When I had GCSE's, I got this little password thing to log in into Edexcel and find out my results a few hours before I could turn up to my school. I'm guessing we could do the same thing again, but I since I only have one A-level in Edexcel and it's my strongest subject, it won't be much of a surprise.

One of my friends stayed up till midnight last year and the UCAs website was going very slowly, so in the end she gave up. I think she checked them before she went to collect her results though, and found out that she'd got in.

Yeah I checked mine at midnight - no luck. Checked again at 7ish in the morning and found I was successful! Felt so much better going in to get my results knowing I'd got at least two As.

It's a bit early for this kind of speculation isn't it? I believe that UCAS updates between 6-9am on results day, so there's no point staying up all night clicking refresh.
