ucas deadline today...

Dreadi · 15 Jan 2007 at 21:49

but of course mines still here, unfinished.

Problem 1 - I took GNVQ ICT in secondary school, yet it isnt listed anywhere on the site so i how do i add it as a subject taken?

*Solved - I wrote it in

Problem 2 - I took a/s psychology but cant find my exam sheet from when i took it therefore i dont know the month or the exam board i sat it with.

*Semi-solved - I guessed it

Problem 3 - I asked my old media teacher if she could fill in the reference section for me. She has entered the name and contact details but nothing else is included and its status is "In progress" which i'm assuming means she hasnt finished it...

so what am i supposed to do now? Send it off incomplete so i qualify for normal entry as opposed to late entry, or wait until its all filled in and send it late ? ? ?

1. Just guess. They don't care anwyay.

2. Make it up.

3. The idea is you finish your bits, they check it and send it. If today is the deadline you're too late.

Dreadi · 15 Jan 2007 at 21:53

who checks and sends? Not the college because i havnt been there for 2 years and the site states today as the deadline for them to be in so im not to late as i see it..

Edit - All it says about it is

"Please note: 15 January 2007 is the advisory closing date for UCAS applications (excluding
Route B Art & Design). Please allow time for completion of a reference before this date."

Left it a tad late didn't you? And I thought mid December was late : /

In fact it's gone office hours, so I'd say you've probably missed the deadline.

Zefan · 15 Jan 2007 at 21:59

Ah I dunno who checks then, probably no one

Just send it tbh.

Dreadi · 15 Jan 2007 at 22:03

send it you reckon, i mean they have the contact details of the college so all should be fine...right..?

PureAppleJuice · 15 Jan 2007 at 22:08

Yeah send it straight away. Apparently the office closed at 8pm, so I have a feeling you probably missed the deadline.

Dreadi · 15 Jan 2007 at 22:18

probaberbly not

seems i cant send it until all sections are marked complete which my reference isnt as it needs something writen in the statement box..

It's only the deadline for equal consideration on each application, you can still send it off I think, but it will be lower priority. Get it sent off as soon as possible.

It hasn't been called GNVQ for years, its AVCE now.

yeah thats correct. i wont get equal anyway due to lack of education skills but i'd still like to have a semi decent chance.
Now what do i do about the reference comment box...

Wrong.

AVCE's and GNVQ's are different.

Oh well, my certificate states GNVQ and AVCE isnt on there eitehr so i wrote it in as GNVQ.

Whats the difference?

Dreadi · 15 Jan 2007 at 22:33

Thats not important currently, what to do about my statement box is.

should i just stick a . in there so i can get it sent or write something or what?

sniffy · 15 Jan 2007 at 22:56

mate i saw people in college doing this months ago.

Dreadi · 15 Jan 2007 at 23:03

yeah and i said above, i'm not in college and it was a late decision meaning i only managed to get hold of my reference on friday and she hasn't filled the section out.

Do i stick something in the box and give them a call and tell them my situation tomorrow or do i leave it empty, not send it yet and then give them a call?
(getting in touch with my reference is tricky cus she is obviously in college and im at work all day meaning i can only send her email now and recieve it at 4.30pm tomorrow)

Dreadi · 15 Jan 2007 at 23:36

looks like it going in tomorrow and ill have to give them a call and see what they say about it...
