Quick question: When people say to ring the uni if they haven't rejected you and you slightly missed the offer, what number do you call?


I have been wondering the same time. When I tweeted my firm choice they simply told me to call them on their main contact time so I guess you can try calling them up on that number first.

Anyone else worried they'll miss an AAA offer?


Yea. I might actually get a B in economics because I never took it seriously and only ever crammed. But I still think unit 4 went really well (global economics), despite the essay questions being a bit ugly. Then again, I might be completely deluded and wrote a whole load of inapplicable nonsense. For example, I got a darn C on unit 3 - probably deserved it, but yea, pretty nervous for econ.

If you're worried about track updating, you can get an auto refresh extension for Chrome, you can even get it to make an audible alarm when the page changes. I used it once and it meant that I could leave my laptop on overnight, not worry about having to refresh the browser myself and go to bed. An alarm then goes off when the page changes, so you don't have to set an alarm yourself for 0600 then worry about it updating.

Just a small tip.

Tbh - I'd prefer to open my letter than use track; I won't be prepared for the potential blow in the early morning as soon as I wake up.

UCAS say that their new website will be able to deal with many people logging on at the same time and not crash.

Some unis may not have made their decision, say if some people narrowly miss their requirement so some applicants' offers may remain conditional..so I'm guessing the answer is no.

Anyone do AQA Chem5 here?

I don't think track is closed during the morning, so how is this bypassing anything?


I think it's to check your results before everyone starts logging in and crashing Track.

Extremely. Think I've got a B in Economics. Paper 3 was an absolute disaster.

Sort of - they reconnect it with the live system that universities have been updating all week.

But then they disconnect it again until around lunchtime to keep the system quick with all the logins.

So if your track is going to refresh then it'll be there when you can log in on thursday (they take track down overnight usually so you can't stay logged in to it) and then it wont change again until around lunchtime (so there's no point hitting refresh constantly all morning - go and get your results and then phone your unis if your track hasn't updated).

how the **** you tare your peckk!!?????


I'm not 100% sure but mainly due to not sufficiently warming up and also a wider grip than what I was used to. It was only a minor tear so it didn't require surgery just a **** load of painkillers and therapy.
