No-one else knows where you have applied.  \n• Each university will decide whether to make an offer. They usually ask students to achieve certain exam results. Decisions will be sent to UCAS.  \n• UCAS will forward the responses from the universities to students using UCAS Track. You may also receive an email directly from the university.  \nDeadlines?  \nApplying for any of the following?  \n• Oxford or Cambridge?  \n• Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry?  \n• UCAS must receive the application by 6pm on 15th October 2021  \nAll other courses –  \n• The main deadline is 6pm on 26th January 2022 . You can apply after this date, universities can declare that courses are full after this date. If you apply before date, all universities have to consider you  \nbut  \nthis  \nIf you submit an application, but don’t use all 5 choices up – you can add choices later – this sometimes happens when a student wants to meet the Oxford/Cambridge deadline, but still hasn’t chosen their other 4 courses  \nWhat happens after I submit my application?  \nAfter receiving your application, a university or college will make one of three decisions:  \n• unconditional offer – this is rare, but means an offer with no conditions – be careful – some universities offer these if ‘you make them first choice’ – so it might not be your ideal choice  \n• conditional offer – this is the most usual offer – you will be offered place on the condition you get certain A-Level grades or UCAS points (eg ABB or 120 UCAS points)  \n• unsuccessful  \nOr, they can offer a place on an alternative course.  \nUniversities and colleges can also:  \n• request an interview  \n• ask to see your portfolio  \n• ask you to take an admissions test  \nWhat happens after I submit my application?  \nApplicants then keep a maximum of two offers – this means you have to decline the rest  \n• Firm (1st choice)– this is the university you want to go to if you get the grades – if you get the grades, you’re in!  \n• Insurance (2nd choice)– this is your back-up choice – usually for students if they just miss out on their Firm choice – so usually a lower grade offer than the Firm choice  \nPayment?  \n• The UCAS application fee is …  \n• one choice – £22  \n• two to five choices – £26.50  \n• You pay this to the Finance Office, or via Parentmail  \n• You cannot pay it directly to UCAS (if you can, you have done something wrong during registration)  \n• The 16-19 Bursary can be used to pay for this fee  \nHOW TO REGISTER FOR UCAS 2022","cbCaiuWB89Kem3I0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuWB89Kem3I0","pdf",1609642,42,"English","# Starting your UCAS application\n# How the UCAS application process works\n## Deadlines and eligibility\n## Submitting and receiving decisions\n# What happens after you submit\n## Offer types and limits\n# Payment and bursary","[{\"question\":\"When can students register and start an online UCAS application, and when can they submit it?\",\"answer\":\"Students can register and work on the online application now, but they cannot submit it until 7th September.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the rules for UCAS course choices, especially for medicine and Oxford/Cambridge?\",\"answer\":\"Students are allowed up to 5 choices (including different courses at the same institution), but only 4 choices for medicine.
