Help! UCAS application deadline

The first thing is to ring UCAS tomorrow to see what has happened. Did you apply through a school and perhaps it hasnt been sent because you hadnt allowed sufficient time for them to complete their part.

Whatever the deadline isnt a strict deadline. It is a time limit after which universities do not have to give you equal consideration. In practice it doesnt mean much for most courses. Very popular courses and universities wont look at your application. However most courses outside the top dozen or so universities will consider your application in the same way they would if received your application on time.

If you happen to have 5 rejections which is unusual you would be able to apply to 1 university at a time through extra. Clearing is a last resort should all else fail.

Did you apply through a school or independently?

I applied independently. I only asked my school for a reference from a teacher.

Did you fill in the name of your referee and their contact details or did you use a buzzword?

Just the name of my teacher I didn’t use buzzword

And did the reference section on your application show as completed before you clicked pay and send?

Yeah it was. Everything was complete. I then clicked pay and submit and then it went back to the application process which it said ready to submit to which I thought it was then waiting for ucas to review my application to submit it. I didn’t think to click on it again as I thought it was sent as the transaction went through

Call UCAS first thing tomorrow.

if it was a glitch at their end then they’ll be able to put it right
