I got in through clearing, due to applying (a day) late because I kind of decided to go on a bit of an impulsive decision learning that I could afford to go <3 welsh learning grants!
I had the required grades and got in without any issue, although I had to chase up as they lost my application!
The scholarship/bursary has no impact on your student finance, I get the Aber Bursary being from a low income household, you don't need to apply for this and I got a lovely letter saying I would be getting an extra £1000 spread over the three semesters and for each year I remain within low income bracket. I may have cried.
