Do uni's go into ucas extras for the A100 medicine course or is it less likely? Also on which exact date will ucas open for extras?
They tend not to but there’s a limited number of medical schools that you can apply to in clearing if you get the grades - although those are also very hard to get into. I’d suggest if you get the grades, some universities may put you on a reserve list. Call up/email wherever you’ve applied to and ask before then if that’s possible. Otherwise, maybe take a gap year if you’re adamant on getting into medicine or apply for something else if you’d like.
Guys, I applied to UCL for ucas extra when it opened - I still haven’t heard back from them. Im actually so scared - will it be a good idea to phone them now or wait for few more days??

They should try and make a decision within 21 days, (Med might be different, but that's the Extra typical timescale). Beyond that, no harm in calling them to see what's going on with your application and ask when you'll hear back.
Hi, I submitted a UCAS extra application for a course at UCL after being rejected by them for Law, and it has been over a month since. I haven't heard anything back from them and I am unsure on what do to? Any advice.

Call their general admissions team on Tuesday and ask for a decision timescale.
