First Look at Clearing Availability Before Results Day

Clearing—I’m new to this. As I understood it, universities were posting their clearing courses with spaces today. I can see that Exeter, Liverpool, and Southampton put in lower grade requirements, which is what I thought everyone would do.

York, Leicester, Lancaster, and Birmingham listed the courses with spaces, but the original grades still stand. Will individual students need to enquire on results day what the new minimum requirements are, or will the universities update the minimum grades for everyone to see on results day?

Leeds has no business courses with spaces for domestic students—they are, however, listed as available for international students to apply for. At 3x the tuition fees. Cheeky.

IB grades are Monday.
As the summer moves on keep an eye and then seriously look a day or two before and on results day keep checking as things move quickly.
Not all unis drop grades in clearing. Some very well ranked unis may stick at AAA etc knowing they’ll pick up top quality candidates to fill last few places.
Eg my DD’s friend missed his Cambridge offer with AAA as he needed A
in the specific subject and he got A. He obviously was able to pick up a Durham type uni in clearing.

It’s gone weird with the star

should say he got Astar Astar A and specifically needed Astar in a subject he only got A in.

If IB students have arranged for their results to go to UCAS they will be available on Sunday.
I am not sure when UCAS make them available to universities.
There may be some movement after that though.

I think AP results are also out on Monday.
