what happens on the 15th?

Original post by Alia223

As soon as you log unto Track at 6:00am on Results Day it will say on the front page whether you got into your firm or not.

All the best =)

Unless you're like one of the 100,000 applicants last year whose universities either hadn't decided or hadn't sent a decision to UCAS by results day morning.

45,000 of them were still waiting for a clear answer a week later.

Wow then surely UCAS is on top of it this year round? They created a new track this year to withstand busy times such as Results Day to avoid the crisis that happened last year with Track failing with the sheer amounts of people. It seems like UCAS is on top of the game this year? We shall see..

Those 10,000 people weren't delayed by UCAS. The delay was with universities making decisions and sending those decisions to UCAS. Often unis will sit on applicants who've missed their grades to see if they can get "better" applicants through clearing before deciding to reject/accept them.

So it is extremely unlikely for people who got the grades or exceeded them for their firm place to not hear from UCAS immediately?

That isn't what I said at all.

Plenty of people who meet their offer grades don't have an update on Track every year.

The point is if you meet or exceed you offer you should NOT call your unis. Leave the lines free for people who need to get through.

If track hasn't updated by friday lunchtime THEN call your unis to check that there hasn't been a mixup with your results coming through.

I didn't say that is what you said, I was simply asking a question. :rolleyes:

I think I'll phone the universities anyway if Track has not updated. Not really fair on me to be left hanging.

Not for everyone. I got my results in 2011, and found out at school. I left the computer logged in at home, and I knew where I was going before track told me as I had my results in front of me.

If you've met your offer conditions then your place is guaranteed - phoning just wastes your time, the time of the person on the phone and could stop someone who hasn't got a place from getting through.

But if you think that's "not really fair" then fine clog up the phone lines :smile:

You've said somewhere that sometimes universities accidentally reject applicants who have met their offers, so I'd need to ensure this mistake has not taken place.

If you were rejected that WOULD show on track - I've never implied that you should not phone your uni if you think you've been incorrectly rejected. the 100,000 people with no change on track last year did NOT include anyone who was rejected it was just people who had NO change on track (or who only had their insurance place confirmed and no decision on their firm).

And for what it's worth I've know about 1 case a year on TSR of people incorrectly rejected.

I'm saying if you've met your offer and track either hasn't updated (or even worse if your place is confirmed) then phoning your unis is pretty rude at the least.

Likewise if you've MISSED your offer but track says you're in then don't clog up the lines - go out and celebrate!
