APPLYING THROUGH UCAS• In order to apply to Universities in the UK, you must apply through UCAS.• Students are permitted to apply to up 5 Universities through UCAS.• They will need to check the entry requirements of the courses they apply for

before submitting an application. For Russell Group Universities they will need a minimum prediction of 3 Bs.

• Students are required to submit a personal statements and subject references along with their application.

• When all personal details, GCSE grades, predicted grades and references have been completed students will need to pay (£24) and press send. The application is then submitted to Ms Igbokwe for verification and proof reading before then being sent.

APPLYING THROUGH UCAS• Within a day or two of receiving students application, UCAS will send them an

acknowledgement which they need to check carefully – let them know if there are any problems.

• At this stage, applications are made available for institutions to view online, however, they cannot view the other choices made. The institutions then make a decision on each application and whether or not they wish to invite you to attend an interview. They have three choices:

1. They can make an unconditional offer (i.e. they will give you a place irrespective of any future exam results)- Rare/problematic

2. They can make a conditional offer (i.e. tell you what grades you need to achieve in your exams to be given a place)- Most Common

3. They can reject your application.
