The personal statement is a massive part of a student’s uni application. This makes the writing process a lengthy one where students often have several drafts that they go through before having a finalised version. The personal statement that a student is comfortable submitting shouldn’t be wasted and should be uploaded to UCAS. This might go over some students’ heads where they expect to send it unis directly any through any other mechanism which could result in a voided application.

UCAS

UCAS is the platform where all students should upload their personal statements and there are two notable features on UCAS that students should be aware of. First, its important to note the character limit. The character limit doesn’t allow students to write however much they want and forces students to finish their personal statements comfortably before the deadline to adjust the size of their personal statements. Second, students should note that it is possible to change the personal statement after uploading. This allows students to at least have something on UCAS and can change it whenever they like.

Additional information really means how unis can go beyond and help students with specific circumstances. This includes help such as disability care, language help and even funding aid. This topic might not exactly hit the spot regarding the whole application process but can be very helpful for students under special circumstances so it is worthwhile checking out information provided by UCAS and the unis themselves.

UCAS

UCAS does help students with special circumstances but in a very limited way. This is done through selecting various options when filling out personal information. This can range from disability information to funding information and can help a student out by being a notification for unis when admitting students. This is done in such a limited way not because UCAS doesn’t care, they probably do but UCAS itself is an admission platform and the extent of which they help students with special circumstances is parallel to its function itself.

Universities

Universities often provide information of how students can receive help in different ways. There are pages on their websites which touch on subjects such as funding and disabilities that provide extensive information that students will find useful when applying. Additionally, emailing unis through their admission email accounts and independently enquiring is a very viable option. This allows students to obtain even more in-depth information and provide unis with information that students feel are important for them to be aware of.

This might seem extremely obvious and a bit of a waste of time to talk about but paying attention when filling in your course choices is really important administratively. Make sure that whatever course you apply for that its course code is correct to avoid any mishaps. This is important because it determines the entire course of your uni life as the course itself is one of the most important parts of uni.

On UCAS

Being careful in filling in your uni application with a course or several courses on UCAS is incredibly important for your uni application. It’s very important to note that the courses chosen are the ones that you want and have worked for. This is because your course choice is supported by other components of your application, especially the personal statement. If a course is chosen incorrectly, this administrative blunder could lead to an entire uni slot choice being rendered redundant and the chances of you getting into uni severely damaged.

Applying to unis in general requires some sort of backing by a member of staff from the institution you attend. The UK uni system with its UCAS platform is no exception and requires the submission of a reference from the institution for the applying student. Getting a reference made isn’t very hard but processing it can differ based on the institutions.

Foundation

One of the upsides of attending a foundation program is that you do not have to worry about getting your reference made at all. This is because your tutors are representing the institution you attend in helping you apply. The tutors from the institution will have your reference before you even realise you’d need such a thing. However, it is a possible that different institutions take care of references differently so you should always be mindful of the reference itself. Overall, getting a reference while attending a foundation program is basically automatic.

Other Institutions

Getting a reference in other types of institutions such as an international high school or sixth form may be a bit more problematic. Attending these types of institutions would probably force a student to become more proactive in securing a reference. Nevertheless, getting a reference isn’t much of a task and should still be relatively easy. Any additional hassle in getting a reference would probably be tedious at best because most institutions would want their student to get into the best unis.

The UCAS system is a centralised platform for most university-level education applications. This system has its own set of requirements before even getting to the unis of your choices. Getting past this first level of administrative bureaucracy is an integral step in realising your dreams. Don’t let a missing a document be one way ticket to educational limbo!

However, do not fret because most applications are done by both the student and the institution they attend. This opens up the possibility of assistance in filling in anything that is required to make a proper application.

Personal Information

Well this section is probably a no-brainer but filling in your personal information is a mandatory step into applying to unis. This will be done on UCAS’ website where all it really is is your run-of-the mill form filling exercise. The only slightly confusing section of this is further details (touching on funding, nationality and backing) but filling in this section will probably be guided by the institution you attend. To sum it up, don’t worry because you will receive help in filling this in, just make sure you actually do it!

Academic Information and Personal Statement

Academic information and your personal statement are the information being reviewed by unis before they make their choices. First, the academic information you have to fill in will consist of any form of education that you have gone through and any current academic endeavours you will put up for your application. The former is the usual high school or any other establishment that you have attended. However, the latter is about the modules you are currently undertaking to get into UK unis. The grades for these modules will initially be empty and will be filled in by your institution. Your institution will take care of both your predicted grades and final grades.

Second, the personal statement is incredibly important for your application. Although we will not be discussing how to write a good one this time its worth pointing out that uploading the personal statement itself is very important. Do not forget the deadline and check the character limit to ensure that your personal statement is approved by the system.

Uni Choices

Choosing your unis is really important as without it you will obviously not be able to get into any uni. Remembering the deadline for choosing your uni is important to note as the maximum amount of consideration is required but too much will result in disaster.
