If your firm accepts you but you want to explore other choices in clearing, do you have to reject the firm? Can you not hold on to the firm offer?

Universities are not allowed to discuss clearing options with you unless you're in clearing. If you want to go into clearing then you need to ask your firm choice to place you into clearing. You can't shop around for other options whilst holding a firm offer.

As above, you can search the UCAS Clearing tool, but that's it.

Isn't it extremely risky to reject the firm offer, as the clearing choice can be gone by the time you try to apply?

A less risky option would be to use UCAS Adjustment. If you exceed the grade requirements of your firm offer then you can use Adjustment to swap your existing uni place for one at another university (in effect, trade up) - you don't reject your firm to use Adjustment, and you if don't find anywhere you like, you keep your original firm place. Do you think you're likely to get better grades than expected?

If you just want to see if you can get into a better university via clearing, then yes, that is very risky. Do you want to go to your firm?

If I do try to apply for a clearing course, would I need the same grades as the entry requirements they put up or do you think the grades will be lowered?
