Worried about Clearing

I understand that you want reassurance but there's very little anyone can say, we just don't know. It might be a good idea to phone up the department and speak with the admission tutor just so you can express your interest (maybe mention the preliminary work you've done), get them to remember your name.

I have, they said they can't really say anything either way I was hoping other people had experiences... I guess I'm just going to have to find a way of dealing with this anxiety even though so far nothing I've tried has worked Thanks anyway.

Yeah, they aren't going to be able to tell you in advance what your chances are. I only mean it would be a good idea to make yourself known to them. If you have done that then there's nothing you can do but wait.

Can you suggest anything else that might help me, then? I can't just sit here and wait - I do not have a job and I do not live with my family.

If this is a course you really want to do, why are you waiting until results day to apply?
