Everyone but the Five

If you have stalled on your UCAS research, start by looking back at the work you did during induction week. Get browsing in all the prospectuses you can find, either in print or online. Don't hesitate to ask any university to send you your own prospectus. They will be glad to. If you have some starting points - either you know what you want to study, or you know where you want to study - ask Alicia Rooney or Ellen McVea for ideas about prospectuses to look up. You are aiming to find a range of choices that will mean you will definitely have a place on a course you will enjoy in a place you will look forward to living. Much later in the process you will be narrowing down your choice to one firm choice and one back up. It is important that you have a back up choice which is asking for lower grades than your firm choice. Wherever you are at in the process, get browsing and asking! After 15th, there will be interview slots available for anyone who wants a chance to talk through what they should do next to help decide.
