A level results day

77 replies

I’ve read on here that the UCAS track is sometimes updated on the morning of results day, so some students know whether or not they got their place before collecting results. I wondered if those with older dcs can clarify a couple of things.

  1. Is it all, most or just a few students whose track will be updated? I’m not sure if dd should expect to see this or be worried if nothing shows when she logs in?
  1. Is this just for automatic acceptance, I.e. where a student met or exceeded an offer, so presumably no need for someone in the uni to make any decision? Or might some decision-making have happened e.g. if a student dropped one grade but was still accepted. When would the student know in this type of situation, and how long before they are passed on to the insurance choice or clearing?

  • If your child was unsuccessful in securing a place at University, they can still apply for uni through clearing, read the 'How to apply to uni through UCAS clearing' guide:

Well pretty stressed right now. DS got offered Conditional Offer for Durham based on AAA, which he gotbut on UCAS this morning it said he has not met the requirements for Durham

Did your DS manage to sort it @Sunflowers11? Hope he's at Durham now.
