You may find applying for university an intimidating process, so we've compiled some advice to help you on your way.
It's important to read through each section of the UCAS guidance slowly and carefully. Bear in mind when completing your application that what you say may be all the university uses to make a decision.
UCAS will automatically notify your university choices of any changes. Check your inbox isn't full, especially during results time in July — August and into September.
Any mistakes could mean difficulty for UCAS when matching your application with your results straight away. It could lead to an unnecessary delay in universities making their decisions. List your subjects with their full titles, for example, if you're taking English Language and Literature, put the full title and not just English. Don't try to give a UK equivalent for results awarded in another country. If the column headings on the form are inappropriate, ignore them.
Be honest. UCAS has some extremely sophisticated fraud-busting techniques and experienced admissions tutors who can spot rogue applications. If false information goes undetected by UCAS it may be noticed when your prospective university asks you to present your certificates, and will be investigated with the examining board.
If your prospective university finds out your grades don't match your application, you could be asked to leave. Everyone has positive attributes and motivations — tease them out and express them on your statement. There's no ideal way to structure your statement. You only get to write one personal statement, so if you opt for radically different courses it will be difficult to construct a personal statement that demonstrates your enthusiasm for all of them equally.
If your choices are so varied, perhaps it may be better to wait another year and get a clearer understanding of your future plans and what you want to achieve. Students who apply to university through UCAS Extra can email a revised personal statement to their chosen university. Universities are required by UCAS to treat all applications received by the appropriate deadline on an equal basis. However, applying early never does any harm and in some circumstances, there can be a small advantage before Christmas is advised.

University entry requirements Institutions set their own entry requirements based on the subject and the demands of the specific course to ensure that the students who make it through the selection process have the necessary knowledge and skills.
They typically consider: your previous qualifications, subjects and grades - typically A-levels as well your GCSE results whether you're the right fit for the course - based on your experience, interests and skills how well you perform at a university interview any other information - for example, health or Disclosure and Barring Service DBS checks.
Points system While institutions do ask for grades in certain subjects at A-level or equivalent as part of their course entry requirements, they may also request a particular amount of UCAS Tariff points.
Although this system is optional, it is often used by admissions staff to compare applicants.
