Getting organised for Results Day

If once i get my results I get into my firm, if i ring up and ask to be released, will i go into clearing or would i then be accepted by my insurance?

does any body know how to change the address on ucas??

Well I got a reply from the admissions guy for the clearing course, he said he'll email me again shortly with more info. SHould I bother putting it on UCAS yet? or just wait a little while longer?

Usually how long should a conversation over the phone with a university in clearing take? I many need to phone several unis and I don't want the places to be filled up whilst I'm still talking to uni #1.

Don't apply for a place in Clearing via Track until explicitly instructed to by a uni

If you haven't had a response from an email then try phoning - emails are always the lowest priority during results weeks - the people who ring up get answers quicker. If you aren't getting any clear answers on the phone then make sure to ask for (and WRITE DOWN) the name and job title of the people you speak to on the phone.

I did phone up yesterday, then the admissions guy for the course told me to send an email to the admissions at the Faculty of Science where he would continue it... I got a reply yesterday night from him. Not heard anythign yet... so I should just wait?

Why would there be a standard length of time for conversations when every individuals case is different?

Places don't fill up that quickly - within a week or so yes but not within hours.

In 2007 there were still thousands of places available a fortnight after results.

certain courses fill faster than others...there may be thousands of places a fortnight after results but not everyone would want to go to those courses

If you don't meet your offer for either your Firm or Conditional, does the status change to "Unsuccessful" or remain "Conditional"?

I can't bear the thought of refreshing the page to see Unsuccessful. At least if the status remains Conditional I can kid myself into thinking my track hasn't updated until I get my results.

UNconditional
UNsuccessful

They both look the same!
