CLEARING

If you have missed those grades and did not get into your university of choice,  DO NOT FEAR! Enter CLEARING immediately.  Be prepared, pick up The Telegraph newspaper first thing in the morning tomorrow. It will list all the universities with clearing spots.  You can also view Clearing vacancies on the UCAS website.  You may even find these information online TODAY!

Preparation

Research into which university you potentially want to go to and have all the contact numbers ready

Be ready to answer interview questions such as why you chosen to call that university and why you have chosen that course.  Have your A-level results ready as well as your UCAS track number and your personal statement.
