UCAS Problem

Bit of an update,well I phoned UCAS as I couldn't wait till tomorrow to speak to my tutor(impatient I know, but I kept thinking about the mistake and couldn't concentrate on revising for my Psychology retakes tomorrow).UCAS told me I had to phone all the Uni's as the application has been sent off so there was nothing I can do.

I have phoned 5 out of 6 Uni's. Why is it some Uni's are so much more efficeint than others?Brighton said I had to send a letter to them and an email regarding the situation. Portsmouth said I just need to sent the form back with a copy of my passport and Kent,it went straight to voicemail stating the admins office is closed for xmas holidays and will be back on the 3rd.LOL The other Uni's on the other hand just changed it straight away on the system.

Got to phone the last uni cos there closed. :o

One kinda good news was whilst talking to the admissions staff of De Montfort she said I've got an interview with them. :p
 
Off topic a bit but do you need you need to include ALL grades obtained in college, even if you didnt sit the exam ?

That doesnt make any real sense........how can you have a grade for something if you didnt sit the exam? (unless its all coursework based)

Oh i'm cutting it stupidly fine as well, don't worry. If i don't get in, i'll take a year out and apply the second UCAS re-opens again.

I got a U in General Studies. I didn't include this on my UCAS form if that's what you mean?

Umm it makes sense, there was an exam for my course, i didnt go and sit in it aka a U, long story short i didnt attend the lesson for 3 months and she said it was to late to take me out of the exam and made me pay regardless *****
 
If you got a U just don't cash it in. I got a U in one of my subject didn't cash it in and didn't put it on my UCAS. :)

Cash it in is basically when your not carrying the subject onto A2 and having a grade for AS. You have to cash in your AS if you want ucas points for it if your not carrying it onto A2.

Mate you better hurry up cos you may run into a few obstacles like me :p
My UCAS was all ready to go in mid-November but my art teacher(who is also my tutor) said I was definitely predicted a B, decided not to inform me that my other art teacher changed it to a C. She continued not saying anything even when I was talking to her about how I need a B in art for my uni. My referee(who happens to be going out with her) came back and showed me my predicted grades C in art :eek: asked my tutor/art teacher again if my predicted grade was a B,she said yes so I went "Oh but Mr.X said its a C" she was like "Oh yes, Mr (other art teacher) changed it" :rolleyes:

She and the other art teacher basically blackmailed me into doing all my artwork + more and I was given a week to do it. Finished it whilst the other teacher said its fine she said that I havent done enough writing and made me do it again. She basically used that excuse for a month. Eventually my other art teacher couldn't stand it anymore and changed it to a B.

Think the reason they were being difficult was cos they didnt want me to do Architecture, they both wanted me to do an Art Foundation course like what they did. :p
 
thats proper gay of them to mess you about like that and a similar thing happened to my girlfriend altho i'm applying as an idividual, i left college in 2005 but i've still got hurry!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Yeah, I was really frustrated about it actually,I was really close to just having a right go at the teachers and just leave but I thought that won't do any good.

Won't it be really hard to get reference from your old teachers,etc with like 5 days to go? :eek:
 
well i have already contacted and she said she would be happy to help me at such short notice so im sorted there, its just the personal statement im having trouble with, havnt got a clue what to write!????? :confused: :confused: :( :(
 
In my personal statement I wrote why I chose the course, my hobbies, how my current subjects will aid me in my chosen course and my extra curricular activities.
 
thats the problem, i dont have many hobbies and the main one i do i dont know if i want to mention it (skateboarding is widely seen as just youbs about town vandalising stuff) and i didnt do any extra curicular stuff in school apart from one or two charity things...
 
bend the truth ,

you skateboard at specialised skateboard parks at a competitive level , make up some random competition , say you went , say you enjoyed meeting new people while there etc ,

mine is just one big blag :p
 
Yeah just bend the truth a little ;) I know I did a little, I said I played basketball for the school for 2 years featuring regularly(although I wasn't a regular)

I know a lot of my mates made up hobbies or extra curriculars like playing football for a Sunday League Team for 6 years, helped out in House Music,etc. :o
 
Mine got sent off this morning. My own fault. If i don't get in, i shall simply take a year off and re-apply next year but send it off ASAP to get the best places.

Ho hum...
