Clearing 2015

You paid UCAS £20 for a laugh to see if you'd be able to get offers?

The ones on ucas should be in clearing however if the uni doesn't notify ucas that often then they may be full but not updated ucas on that yet.

Hi everyone,

I haven't made a 2015 application to university since by the time I realized I would be applying the deadlines had passed. Anyway, I heard on the news that a lot of unis were in clearing this year so I thought I may as way put in an application and see if I can get a place. I looked here: http://search.ucas.com/
and ticked the 'clearing 2015' option and searched the course I want to do.

It came up with a list of unis so I emailed my preferred uni and asked them if I was eligible (I already have my A-levels/GCSEs and a previous degree). They said yes - I meet the criteria but that they're not in clearing and I'd have to check back on A-Level results day to see if they have places.

Can someone explain this to me? What do the results of the search function on UCAS mean when you check the 'clearing 2015' box - are those courses not actually in clearing?

Oh I see, so they're basically waiting until everyone's in the starting blocks and ready to sprint - so to speak. It just seems odd that the uni told me that they're not in clearing. They could have said they are in clearing but that I can't apply until A-Level results day, rather than they're not and I'll have to check back on A-Level results day.

Keeping my options open. Going to apply through clearing 2015 for Physio and see what happens, if I get rejected I'll take a year out and apply for grad med. If I get a place I'm inclined to take it at the moment. But I'll cross that bridge if and when I come to it. It's probably hard for people to understand I guess but I'm not getting any younger and I need to be working my way towards a career now - so which ever door opens for me I'll follow that route. I haven't got the time or finances to put my life on hold. I'm winging it right now.

ah man thats a shame, as long as your end goal remains grad med, good luck! i understand, people on here give you a hard time without understanding the perils of the real world, you will reach your end goal.

Oh wow....Exeter already has quite a few in clearing......
