Missing these deadlines puts your place at risk.

Please stick to the format, any general chit-chat can be kept to the forum, we want this just so we can follow people's progress, and so you can see what sort of time scale / how quickly the Universities are responding with offers etc.

Paper Trail

Confirmation Card
If you have sent off your application by post, you should soon afterwards recieve back your confirmation card which says that they have recieved your application.
YOU DO NOT REQUIRE THIS IF YOU ARE USING ELECTRONIC OR THE APPLY ROUTES OF APPLICATION.

AS2
Confirmation Letter - This document from UCAS confirms the courses and institutes to which you have applied, as well as your Online Enquiry Password, which allows you to track your progress.

Acknowledgements
These will come from each University, thanking you for applying to them, they will get back to you in the near future with their offer details, both on their letter headed paper, and by AS3 (below)

AS3
Offer Letter - These documents are what UCAS send to you with each an University replies to you with an offer. It may contain a rejection, a conditional offer, or unconditional offer.

AS6-F
Final Offer & Reply Slip
This is the document which contains the response from your last University to make a decision on making you an offer - at the bottom will be a slip to which you must reply, within the allocated deadline, with your decision on which to accept as Conditional Firm, and Conditional Insurance, Declines, (or indeed just an Unconditional Firm - if you are really lucky).

AS9
Audit Statement
This comes after you have made your decision on CF, CI, UF, D, and confirms your current position.

More Acknowledgements
Universities will now reply to you telling you that they appriciate you choosing them as Firm/Insurance, and will invite you up on their post-application open days. It is a good idea to go to these.

AS10 - Clearing Entry Form
If you do not succeed in making your offers for Firm or Insurance, you will be sent one of these.

Is anyone else finding that they're slowly going insane by UCAS?

Yes! I've actually now heard from all my choices except York, which was my backup (I have offers from Bristol and Warwick for Maths&Phil, an interview at Oxford, an offer from Bath for maths and Durham have forwarded my application to a college). But until Bath's very unexpected letter came through today, I was checking UCAS like a maniac in the hope that *someone* would give me something - from the early applicant lot at school, I was the last to receive something.

Death by UCAS = unpleasant :wink:

I've only received one offer from Sheffield, and one rejection from Manchester. Not heard anything from the others, although I'm expecting a rejection from Cambridge pretty soon! :wink:

Hey, unis still might consider you if you fall slightly below their entrance requirements, especially if they really like your personal statement and/or reference and/or interview (if you have one). It all depends on how many applicants there is for the course each year. I know a few people who have had offers way above their predicted grades so if the unis think you've got potential then they may make you an offer anyway even if your predicted grades arent quite up to scrath, if they think you are right for the course then they may want to give you a chance..
