Filling out the UCAS form was such a pain in the UCASS. I remember writing out a load of crap for the personnal statement and having to chase the principle of the school to get him to fill out his recomendation part for weeks. Barely got it in on time.

The CAO form, now that was a breeze, simply jot down the courses you are interested in and hope for the best. Could be done in five minutes online.

Ended up getting the place I wanted with UCAS so I suppose it was worth it.

Hopefully you'll get the course you want too.

Yeah, takes ages and is really boring. Easier for the unis though!

Am i right in thinking the cut off date is January 15th 2009?

I think the cut off date is in march some time. I actuallly sent my application off a few days after the deadline and still got 5 offers out of 6.

I'm at Bristol now as an undergraduate. I'm finding it great at the moment! There's plenty do do in the city as i'm sure you know, and i've found the quality of teaching/support etc fantastic for my subject, chemistry. What did you apply for?

And UCAS is a pain, I remember all too well.

Bristol sounds like pistol.

Glamorgan Uni, As a mature student for me.. eek.

I'm still annoyed that ucas offers 5 choices yet when you 'properly' apply you only get an insurance and a firm choice!

That just would not work :\.

I'm applying as a mature student aswell, we're both 1987-ers too .... not applying to Glamorgan, though. It's almost certainly going to be Warwick, Manchester, LSE, Dundee, and Bristol for me. I just need to add some stuff to my old personal statement.

Born in 1987 and you are a mature student? You are making me feel old!

A mature student in terms of university applications... but don't worry, I'm still horribly immature really - try reading the tripe I post here D:

Yeh I see. I am 21 and am in my final year now, there are some people in their 30's on my course.

I still havnt done mine, would you mind posting yours? what course are you doing.

Shadows1990 · 24 Oct 2008 at 16:39

I did mine in June, so I wouldn't worry if you haven't done yours yet tbh.

As I remember it, the UCAS form took (what seemed like) AGES, but the course choices form (sent to our Admin) took less than 2 days.
