Where it all started

Hey guys!!! Whats up? So as we have entered July we have entered Clearing!!!

Clearing has begun and I have already made my first offer and taken several applications in the past week, so you should apply as soon as possible, if you are thinking of applying. Clearing can really be daunting process for some, however, I have few tips that can actually help you successfully negotiate clearing.

Tip 1:

Prepare in advance; when applying for a programme through clearing, and it is the first time you are looking to apply for that programme, look into the career paths and what it can provide for you.

Tip 2:

Register with UCAS before applying for clearing, and check that you have been entered in to clearing.

You need to register with UCAS beforehand, as we will have to have a look at your UCAS profile before we can make a clearing application for you. You must also be in clearing, so you can’t make a clearing application if you are holding an offer. You will need to get yourself released. If, on results day, you don’t meet you conditions with your Firm or Insurance, you will be automatically placed into clearing.

Tip 3:

Don’t just pick a course at random. We understand it’s can be difficult if you don’t get your first choice and that all you want to do is get into university. But you’ll be paying about £9,000 a year, without having chosen the course you love (NOT A GOOD IDEA)! Look around for alternatives, like a foundation degree or extended programme, in the subject that interests you.

 
That’s it for now, but any questions remember to use our LiveChat services or you can email into us at clearing@gre.ac.uk or call in on 020 8331 9000 and we will gladly help you out.
