How do you know for certain???
This is just from what I'm seeing on TSR. If you had a preliminary college allocated to you then there's still a good chance you won't be reallocated. But if you don't then you'll just get what's left in terms of accommodation (aka the more unpopular colleges). Keep in mind Durham accepted wayy more undergrads than they expected this year so I'm pretty sure every other college is most likely almost full already. So far I haven't seen any clearing students get into the Bailey colleges or the more popular colleges. But maybe insurance students will have a better chance since they're on a higher priority than clearing students.

My preliminary was Van Mildert and I’m an insurance student. What is my chance of still getting Van Mildert? And if I don’t will I probably end up in Ustinov or a different UG college. I hate the idea of being in Ustinov!

I got an email an hour ago asking me to rank my top 3 college choices. I'm postgrad, though. The deadline in that email to submit choices was 23:59 on Tuesday 16th September. So I imagine it'll be this week for all confirmations... hopefully anyway
