UCAS-responding to offers
Students who missed the session from the University of Bradford can get advice from the UCAS website or speak to Ms Ullah if you are concerned about the process. The main points to note are:
It is highly advisable to wait for ALL your offers before taking any action so you can consider your response carefully.
• You are required to make one FIRM choice – this will be your most favoured university with achievable entry requirements
• you must then make your INSURANCE choice – be careful to make sure that this has a lower entry requirement to your first choice and that you are prepared to go there. NB On results day, if you don’t meet the entry requirements for your first choice, the insurance choice will become your firm offer and you will be expected to take this up.
• Finally, you will need to decline any other offers.

FAQs

What UCAS advice is given for choosing firm and insurance options?

Students are advised to wait for all offers before acting. They must make one firm choice as their preferred university with achievable entry requirements, then an insurance choice with a lower entry requirement prepared to be taken if needed, especially on results day.

What are the reply deadline rules for UCAS offer decisions?

Reply dates depend on when the last decision is received from universities or colleges. For example, a last decision on or before 14 May 2025 gives a reply date of 5 June 2025, with specific exceptions such as using Extra.

What deadlines and requirements apply for the Alton Towers community trip?

Consent and payment via Evolve+ must be completed by Friday 16 May, and a place is not confirmed until both are received. If pupils decline, parents or carers should still use the Evolve link to click 'decline', with alternative activities available for those not attending.
