Everyone - it is now DECEMBER.
The big UCAS deadline is Friday 15 January 2016. If you do not get your UCAS application to UCAS by then, the Unis do not guarantee 'equal consideration' which may mean you get an automatic rejection without your application even being read.
Although it may feel like there is loads of time to the deadline, PLEASE remember that Christmas is in the middle of this. Schools will be closed and Teachers, understandably, do not want to spend their Christmas holiday writing your academic reference.
PLEASE GET ORGANISED. Submitting your application in January is not 'clever', and submitting it on the day of the January deadline is highly risky as often the UCAS site just grinds to a halt. Do you really need that level of stress and panic?
So ..... get it done!
