OH, God, please give me advice.
So, my teacher registered my high school to become a UCAS centre, BUT that process will take FIVE DAYS, and the deadline is near.
Therefore, I switched my UCAS profile to 'apply as an individual', so the problem is solved. So should I now ask my teacher to cancel that request or to wait those 5 days and just link to my school even after I send an application and even after the deadline is over?

If there will be other applicants to the UK, yeah, they should continue it. If not, then it'd be wise to not go through with it.

Me too. Have an overall of 8, but my writing and speaking were close to the minimum boundary.

Unrelated, what universities are other people here applying to? I went with Imperial, Warwick, UCL and Lancaster

for lots of courses they don't really care that much about your personal statement, more on your grades and interview, and if you do an entrance test then that too

I'd hate to be kept waiting like that, it would drive me mad. My school has many faults, bt it is really good at UCAS!

Hopefully

My referee is on their butts! Since I'm an EU-non-UK applicant, and my school isn't used to predict grades this early, some teachers act a bit difficult about it. Also, the school system doesn't really work the same way as the UK's does, which means I haven't yet started some of my courses - and I need predicted grades for those too...

Let's just hope for that. I guess I'd need some nice scores at the MAT then :P
