What is UCAS?

Hi, this might sound stupid ..
but what exactly is UCAS? and what do you have to do? I know it is something you do to apply to the UK.
Thank :smile:

UCAS = Universities and Colleges Admissions Service.

It manages your application for you.

So you apply to five universities, and rather than having to fill in a form for each of these places, you fill in your one UCAS form, it sends them off for you and manages their responses (and eventually your responses) all in one place.

Are you an international student then?

yup i am. does it make a difference?
btw, just outta interest, whats the possibility of a uni giving a student an unconditional offer when they submit their predicted grades??
thank, helped a lot :smile:

very very small!

unless you are extremely excellent. i know someone who got 6 unconditional offers from 6 ivy leagues, including harvard and yale but still "only" got a cambridge conditional law offer.
