I’m afraid if you missed the deadline your application goes straight to clearing. Maybe try taking a gap year and applying early next year. Best of luck to you for the future

This is incorrect. Please don’t advise people this.

There is a chance they may just consider you as normal. It depends whether UCAS have actually flagged the app as late, and also whether each uni is applying a short grace period. Try not to stress, the app is submitted and there is nothing more that you can do at the moment.

You are looking at the wrong deadline date. The one that has just passed is the equal consideration deadline, not the end of the main cycle and start of clearing.
