MESSAGES FOR YEAR 13 STUDENTS
UCAS deadline was Tuesday 5th November. There is a final catch-up for anyone who still intends to apply to UCAS but has not yet started an application. This takes place in the Robinson Rooms at 2.20 on Weds 27th.
80 Applications have already been sent to UCAS and 60 students have already received offers from Universities with 8 students having already heard back from all their chosen universities. A further 21 have been received and are being processed by the Sixth Form team. They will be sent to UCAS over the next few days. To enable the process to run smoothly, please follow these steps carefully.
1. update your UCAS form to include any AS grades and to reflect any subjects that you have dropped or picked up since July.
2. complete your personal statement, ask someone at home to check it and then share it via Unifrog with your Tutors. I have asked Tutors to turn away any personal statements that are sent to them via email or on paper. The Unifrog tool is much the most efficient way of managing this process and given the number of students involved, it is important that everyone sticks to this.
3. once your Tutor has approved your personal statement via Unifrog, you should save a copy and then cut and paste it into your UCAS Form.
4. once you have shared shortlists with your Tutor and finalised your choices (up to 5 for everything apart from Medicine) you should enter your final choices on to your UCAS form.
5. complete the blog form at https://stb6th.edublogs.org/ucas/586-2/. This guides you through some final checks and provides us with some information that will help us to check the form. It also places you in a queue so it means that we can manage Forms in the order in which they were sent to us.
6. press pay and send from the UCAS site.
7. keep an eye on email. If there are errors, your form will be bounced back to you for corrections. Please respond quickly. You only need to pay once!
Your references are currently being finalised. You are not required to do anything in relation to your reference other than to ensure that the Tutor Reference (written by your Y12 Tutor) reflects the full range of your skills/activities.
