Firm and Insurance choices

I've received all the decisions from my choices, and Tracks tells me that it's time to choose my firm and insurance option, though the deadline is 7th June. Will choosing my firm and insurance early be advantageous in any way? Oh, and my offers are all conditional since my results will arrive by May.

That just means you can decide now if you want, but you are correct there's no need to rush.

Hi there! considering you have 3 months to make a decision, i would wait and not rush this since once you choose your firm and insurance, you don't be able to change them. the only advantage I can think of when it comes to firming early is that you can choose your accomodation slightly earlier than the majority of people so you'd have a slightly higher chance than others to get offered the accomodation that you want. however; as I've said, think a lot about this decision and make sure you don't regret what you choose :smile:

If you don't mind me asking, for what course have you applied and where?

Bath is going to be my firm for sure. But I'm stuck between Edinburgh and Durham for my insurance. Are you applying to college this year as well?

That is not true at every uni .. some don't allocate until AFTER results.
