Festival weekend - enjoy!

The busy 12 hour shifts have passed and normal service has resumed in the office. But after a very busy but triumphant period over the first few Clearing days there are still many questions still coming through on the phones that need answering.

The main question being that applicants are worried that nothing has updated on Track to confirm an acceptance of a place. If you find yourself in that position then you should call the uni direct to check that they have your results. If they confirm they have these then it’s probably just a case of them still being in the process of considering your application. Don’t panic, give them time and you may still be accepted so sit tight!

If you’re in a position where you have been made unsuccessful but its not showing on track then again call the university or college and see where they are with your form. It can take some time for these decisions to come through so check with the uni direct.

The same goes for people who have been accepted at a uni but now they do not want to attend a particular uni and actually want to go into Clearing. It’s vitally important to note here guys that this is a discussion that has to go on between yourself and the university, as if you have agreed to go to a uni, then you should really honour that contract. You must seek the uni or colleges permission do this before being entered into Clearing. If they agree, we will then send you your Clearing Passport, but remember its at the uni’s discretion.

On a lighter note I booked my tickets for the Oasis concert at Cardiff in October which I’m delighted about. I’ve heard great things about the new Album! I know many of you will be going to Reading Festival this bank holiday weekend. If you are, enjoy yourselves! Think of all the hard work you’ve put in for those A Levels! It’s a great way to celebrate so I’m jealous to all of you that are going!

I’m off for now. Hope it doesn’t rain! But then that’s what festivals are about!
