Applying for clearing without any previous application?

I'm not an expert on the matter at all, but from what I have read you need to have a UCAS ID and a clearing number to speak to a university about entering through clearing, both of which I imagine you would only have if having gone through the whole application process. Again, I am not totally sure about this, so I hope someone who is can help you more!

Alright thanks guys.

I don't know how much luck I'll have with a Record of Prior Acceptance, but thanks for the information I do appreciate it.

If that is not going to work, is it even still possible to apply through UCAS? I mean.. just so that they have an ID and clearing number?

Yes. At this stage you'd probably have to go without a reference (unless you can get someone to write you one very quickly, so you can submit the application as soon as possible) so you'd need to contact the universities you're interested in to make sure they're ok with this ... but yes, you can still submit a UCAS application.

Luckily when I did start applying earlier, I got a reference sorted out first thing.

I guess I'll be up for a while drafting a personal statement haha!

Anyway, thank you very much I appreciate your insight. Otherwise I would've called up uni's tomorrow morning without the foggiest.
