Is it worth calling unis for clearing even if you don't have the required grades?

Like my friend applied for an AAB course, was offered BBB and got in with a CCC. I am in a predicament. Currently I have an offer to do a foundation year but I am thinking of raking a risk and go into clearing

universities want to fill spaces so there's a chance a diff one will take you through clearing....certainly worth a phone call you don't have to turn down the foundation year until you know your in somewhere else though clearing

It's not risky just to phone unis and see what they could offer you........what grades do you have and what subject are you interested in studying?

Hi,
What course are you looking at wanting to study?
We have plenty of clearing courses available, if you ring up on 0191 515 3000 one of our academics would be happy to speak to you to explore your options.

I'd definitely suggest looking into clearing first, to see what they can offer you before making a decision!

Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

Hello! It's certainly worth calling the universities you're interested in to ask.

Good luck!

Depending how old you are you can get in with zero qualifications.
Yes, I got a lot of offers even though I was a couple of grades off.
