Ucas form. Activities in preparation for higher education

I'm on the UCAS form.

Under additional information, I have 'Activities in preparation for higher education'.

I don't have any and I've tried saving it without filling it in and I now have '!' marked in the section which wont go away!

You'd be surprised with what can actually work when answering that sort of question.

Think of something, just anything, that you think even vaguely prepares you for University and I'll tell you whether it's good or not. Also I'm just wondering; where are you applying to?

Not like I'm qualified to answer this but at least I can give you advice. :P

OP

What did you put in for that section?

I've left sixth form since 2006 and I'm applying on UCAS independantly and it looks so different to how it used to be back then.

Does Year in Industry count?

To be honest I didn't have a question like that on my application, for some reason.

And sure, a year in industry is good. Basically anything where you can acquire life skills/had an interesting experience doing is worth putting in there. xD It'll improve your chances.

I left it blank. As did everyone else I know about in my school.

Yeah, i left that section blank as well.
I think you can only really use it if you did Medlink or one of those workshop things.

Me neither. :s-smilie:

I think the thing is, she can't save it without answering that question, right?

You can.

I had this question also, left it blank. Sent my UCAS off without answering it ages ago, around the 16/17/18th October.

It's for summer schools and things like that.

Just leave it blank.

If it still gives you grief then it would probably beeasier to go and see whoever is in charge of your UCAS application and tell them whats going on.
