Please press on and pay and send your UCAS forms. This gets your form to Cheney, not to UCAS, and we can send the form back to you as many times as is needed, without your paying again.
Please stay in very close touch with your tutor about your progress. Make sure they have references from work experience, coaches, volunteering etc. so that they can produce the most supportive reference possible. It takes at least an hour for your tutor to get your references from subject teachers edited into a single document, and your assistance with this process is very important. You must cut and paste your qualifications, choices and personal statement into an e-mail to your tutor, along with any details of out of school activities which it would be worth mentioning in your reference.
Proof read your Personal Statement carefully - your tutor or I can advise on content, but we don't have time to check that every capital letter is correct and every spelling accurate. Remember that the admissions officers know all about the subject you are applying for, and want to know everything possible about you - don't tell them what lawyers or engineers do because they know that already. Use specific evidence to show your suitability for your course.
We will send UCAS forms on to UCAS in roughly the order they are paid and sent - there is likely to be a large queue - apply as soon as you can to get to the front of this queue. Please be aware that it usually takes us two weeks from the moment you pay and send to your form being sent on, as staff have other commitments, not least A Level teaching. The sooner we can get the forms done, the sooner you will start to get offers. We don't want to hurry anyone who has difficult decisions to make about their choices, but we definitely need to get moving. If you have any questions or concerns, please talk to your tutor or talk to me. Good communication is essential for the best possible outcomes.
