Too late to apply to Uni?

Repta · 19 Apr 2009 at 19:26

As the title asks really. My plans have change some what i was wondering is it too late to apply for a uni place this year?

No give it a go. If the course is really popular at a popular uni then yes it is far too late, but I would definitely give it a go. You still have the option of going through clearing.

You should be fine. Try emailing the admissions officer for the course you want to apply to, they should be able to tell you what to do.

Not sure if this helps, but I'm applying to start in September, currently offers have been made, and we have a little while to accept/decline the offers, so that should mean the unis can still accept other people and whatnot.

No problem applying now at all, I work at a University and the admin team for our school are still processing the thousands of applications. As suggested, if in doubt give them a call

Probably depends on how popular the uni is? i applied to my local uni a couple of months ago and got an unconditional offer (didn't have to go through ucas either

) so as long as the uni isn't one of the big ones i would have though you should at least have a chance of getting in (and have nothing to lose from trying?)

you may be allowed to go through clearing at this point, i'd have thought.

since main deadline for applications was January, you're kinda a looooooooong way behind, (via UCAS)

But go directly to the uni/admissions people and see

Good luc!

right, thanks for the help, will send an email of to a few unis to see if the course im interested in have any spaces.

Yes of course you can, but as others have mentioned if you wish to apply to a popular uni you will struggle.

I was in your position a month ago and applied though UCAS, took me 2 weeks to fill in all the forms and get refernces sorted, sent it off and got 4 offers within a week.

I would advice contacting the actually uni though i did and they said the only courses that were full were social work and teaching.

If its what you want do it

Hi there,

You can search for open courses using UCAS... check the "Extra" box when you do it.

Thanks
