unsure what to do after receiving my predicted grades

My predicted grades are BCC but I know for a fact I definitely can do better than that after developing the habit of studying over the past month. I was wondering whether or not I could still go through clearing without sending off an application this year, and would I still need to be in contact with my school if I decided to take a gap year(for teacher references etc)?

Yes, Clearing is an option, but it has a limited 'selection' of courses. ☹️

I wonder which subject you want to study at university? 😧

There are always places at QMUL, SOAS, City, Royal Holloway and Goldsmiths here in London, for a range of courses.

You could get a new reference from another Sixth Form centre, but ideally it would be better to keep your existing referee.

Otherwise, you would pay a few £££s for a new referee for your UCAS Reference as a Private Candidate.

You can but you’ll maximise your chances by submitting an application during the main cycle and then using clearing only if needs be.
