Your referee should explain this in your reference. It shouldn’t be in your ps

It’s kind of complicated, my referee wasn’t with me last year, moreover our school only issues the lor once and I got mine itself after 2 months of asking. What can I do? I’m so lost im so sorry

It’ll be India Class / Standard 12.
Going back to the original question, I agree, as a reader of PS’s this isn’t something to include. It’s for the ref to detail.
If their ref didn’t know them at the time, it’s something to discuss with them so they can write about it in the relevant section.

Has your application actually been submitted to UCAS yet?
If not, mid-Jan is absolutely fine. You’ll be considered the same as someone that applied in Oct/November.

Your UCAS reference needs to be attached before it is submitted to UCAS and your universities. It’s integral to your application not a separate lor
