"Ucas Adjustment"

Do you know which uni's are likely to go through adjustment. Is it going to be similar to the ones offering clearing?

I have firmed Royal Holloway, but im also looking at UCL, LSE (both of which will not participate), KCL, Southampton and Exeter as other options.

It might help to look on Extra, just to see which courses are still available and where

Thanks I think KCL will be, but I am not so sure about Southampton which is the university I really want to go to.

Not sure that EXTRA list will be of use in predicting what unis will be in Adjustment. EXTRA list contains those unis that did not get enough applicants before the January closing date. However Adjustment unis will be mainly those who thought they had made enough offers but got a lower student acceptance rate than expected and now are short of students.

That will be true of the AAA unis, but necessarily further down the pecking order. For instance, Lancaster - which has pretty much all its courses in Extra and had quite a lot in Clearing last year (though all places were taken by the end of the weekend after Results Day) - might very well be interested in the student who got ABB instead of BBB. Some of their courses have standard entry requirements of BBB or even BBC, so the student who achieved that instead of the BCC required for their firm might also be in the running.

This is what Adjustment was designed for. It's not meant to deal with the problem of the AAA student getting rejected for law or economics from the top ten unis. It's meant to provide for the applicants whose aspirations were lower than they needed to be, partly because of the advice they were getting at school/college, and partly because their predicted grades were under-estimated.
