The &quot;I&#x27;m applying to UCAS for 2012 entry&quot; thread

Original post by Groat

The UCAS Apply login link. It won't allow it to be opened in a new tab for some reason. :angry:

Copy the address from the address bar in the new window and enter it in the url bar on a new tab.
It annoys me as well, though.

right, anyone applying to Oxford, I went today and really liked it, but, I'm not keen on the catered aspects of colleges, I know some still have some kitchen facilities for if you dont wanna eat with everyone else, but how realistic is it that I could do sort of a semi self catered semi catered mix?

You can just keep food in your room of course....

Hi.I was eager to register with UCAS last year, and did so. However, I was unaware of the fact that October 2012 Regular Applicants have to Register only in July 2011. Now, because I have an account in 'Apply 2011', I can't register for 'Apply 2012' in the fear that my details might be duplicated, hence hindering the application process. Please suggest what I shoud do.

Have you tried e-mailing some sort of councilor on UCAS that might be able to help you?

Call them by phone, then. That seems like the only way right now.

They seem almost as good at avoiding questions like the University of Birmingham's international office. :tongue:

Your fear is unfounded. If you're not convinced, search TSR and see how many people are planning to reapply - either coz they didn't get the offers they wanted or because of dropping out. Hell, evenm I had an account last year (uh, 3 actually) when I had no plans to reapply and I'll have a similar amount this year.

sorry, what? are you sure that you can't apply again?? :O because last year in December 2010, I registered to UCAS because I thought I'd just create an account in preparation for my 2012 application; but it turned out that I applied for 2011 entry! (I was too stupid to know this) does that mean that now I can't register for 2012 application??? where is this rule stated??? I always thought it was still possible since some friends of mine actually rejected their offers, took a gap year and reapplied the next year.

See my post above. It's not a rule.

Go to the ucas site and stick "reapply" in the search box. You'll get a few FAQs, all of which tell people to make a new application if they want to reapply. So yeah, it isn't banned. There is just the issue that anything you did on your old application won't be carried over so you'll have to do it all again.

They state that my "Apply 2011" account is in "Clearing". Does that mean that they are gonna remove it soon ??

They don't remove accounts. They just sit there if not needed. It's fine. Stop worrying.
