Thank you so much for this very useful video and for all the question responses. There seems to be quite a lot of offers via Clearing at the moment so fingers crossed for those wanting or needing a back up plan.

I managed to meet my grades on Tuesday for Astrophysics at UCL, however this video was still great! It’s useful to know this stuff because other people around you might have or will go through it.

[neezamdaud]

Imogen, I can't tell you how scared I am for my results. My predicted grade is triple Ds and I hope to get a higher grade for the A level exam. Wish me luck as I am hoping to go to a uni that offers me a 3 years course instead of a 4 years course

[PhoebeJones]

This is so useful!! Another great video Imogen! :)

[aimanakram]

I’m so scared cause like I can’t lie i feel like ima do bad, along sides that I don’t think what I chose for uni I’m gonna enjoy like fr :(((( I’m just stressed af

[hippityhoppity]

Such solid advice that I wish I heard when going through clearing

[ghpkomodo]

Our school just did the 2020 papers in a hall with invigilators so the anxiety is killing me. Thanks for the advice

[sillygoosegoose]

my clearing tip is to be sneaky with your courses and suggest joint honours if the exact course you wanted isn't on clearing but a similar one is! i had a friend who contacted york about their listing of politics in clearing when she was due to study history. when the woman on the phone said she'd be able to offer her a politics place, she asked whether there was the potential for a joint honours with history, even though history wasn't listed on clearing. she was offered a place for history and politics in the end, just from asking. it might not work out in every situation, but it's really worth asking!

Hi, thank you so much for this video! I was stressed about results day and not really knowing how clearing works so this was a massive help. I noticed that you've commented info about which unis were participating in clearing for the past two years and how many places they were likely to offer, I was wondering when this info becomes available and where we can find it? Thank you! :)

[emmanuelmustapha]

Ngl, this vid helped quite a lot. I got BBC and I'm going on to study Mathematics and Statistics at Queen Mary University in London now, if not for ur advice I deffo wouldn't have been that ambitious but u were right.

[allstarsrgone]

We did different stuff in each subject and I unfortunately got really bad depression during most of my second year so I don’t even remember half of it, I went from being an a* student to barely scraping a C

[ojbeez]

I need to EXACTLY WANT KNOW WHERE IS THE 'ADD CLEARING CHOICE' button?!?! It says in help and videos and says just click on the 'add clearing choice' button. Where is it? So frustrating!!!😠How do you get the clearing number ??!! How do you get there??!!

[raagalayalu]

Heya thanks for the great video I wanted to ask my application is for medicine and if I don’t get in I’m planning to apply for computer science, can I still do that because my personal statement is for medicine ? Thank you 🙏

[Fatima-quml]

I have 2 choices and I don’t want to go to them anymore so I want to self release into clearing for another course, sooo stressed

[sephorazola]

Thank you for this video !! So helpful

[neezamdaud]

Hi Imogen, did you join any societies or clubs in university? Since I might be going to uni this september, I am tempted to try the taster sessions

[UTK]

If you've met the grades for some universities that have given you an offer, can you still apply for clearing to see if you can still get into the unis that rejected you?
