You know how you get over initial uni offers, the you firm and insure two, are you still an offer holder for the other three

or does that not count after you’ve firmed and insured two

suppose I’m wondering if you got an initial offer, but didn’t select them for firm or insurance

would you have a higher chance of getting in via clearing if you were a previous offer holder ?

Once you’ve chosen a firm and insurance the other offers disappear. As to whether you then apply thru clearing to one of the other unis you previously had an offer for there are too many factors to say. Is the course actually in clearing? Are the grades required the same? Did you meet the grades of the original offer, or the grades as they appear in clearing? I would think the answer is no, you don’t have a better chance just because you originally had an offer. I think they would go from where you stand now with the grades you actually have and who else has applied via clearing.

Yes pp is right, rejected offers disappear and you would have to apply through clearing if available.

Hopefully good news in an hours and clearing not needed.

My dd applied through clearing last year to a course she didn’t firm but had interviewed for and been offered a place on

They confirmed her place the same day but she would have had to go through the interview process if she was applying from scratch -so it saved her about a week of uncertainty

Oh that’s interesting, glad that saved her that uncertainty

Depends on the uni. The clearing offer system where I work doesn’t show if they’re a previous applicant.
