Sending application over

I want to send my application over on UCAS in three weeks (before Christmas break) and I was just wondering if that was too late to send. Should I try sending it sooner?

That's not too late. Note that once you've completed your UCAS application, you school/college (or other referee) will be notified and will be asked to provide an academic reference and predicted grades (if appropriate). It's only once they've done that that it's fully complete and passed to the universities you've listed. So check with your school/college as to what their deadline is. Also, they'll be closed over Christmas/New Year, so that will impact their ability to do their part, which will likely need to wait until January if you don't complete your part for another three weeks.

Unis do not 'run out of offers' - and everyone applying before the January deadline gets equal consideration. So when you apply does not determine if you will get an offer or not. Try not to worry - and don't keep checking your phone, it'll drive your nuts.
