Is it better to call, send an email or fill out the 'Advance Registration' form?

So I'm in clearing because I didn't meet my conditions. I found another school within my conditions (UoSheffield) but there seems to be multiple routes from my understanding. I am willing to call to inquire, but the idea of an interview on the spot makes me nervous. I was more keen on sending an email, but that might take too long. So far I am filling out the form they provided on their Clearing guide, but I am unsure if this is the right process.

If anyone has any advice, please help me. I fear I might be too late but so far the form shows that there seems to be a vacancy (which I really really hope they do).

Im a bit scared i might mess it up. Im not that good at speaking on the phone. I mean if theyre just askig for information I might have a chance but if its an informal interview i dont know how well i would do.

They dont have time for an informal interview. They have loads of callers and it is fitting students to spaces.

Yes I agree with swanseajack1 - I man the phones during our Clearing and it is always best to call and clear things up. It would not be a interview so much as a friendly chat making sure you know what you are applying for.

Best of luck!

Oh. Because a lot of websites and advice make it as though some schools ask about course interest and results.

Either way, since i got my ib results quite a long time ago, is it beat to ring them now or shouldni wait until a levels get theirs?
