Hello! i'm planning to go into clearing in 2024, how did you self release yourself? did you do this the day of clearing or the night before? also where did u see that your course was in clearing before self releasing yourself?
Hey! I self-released by declining the offer I had on the day of clearing immediately after I had found out I had got the required results for Medicine. And I saw that the course was in clearing on a The Student Room thread
hey just wanted to say am really inspired every time i watch your videos just gained a new subscriber💋💋 i would also like to know what school you attend please thank you.
i got a different offer from what i applied for from aston an that is the uni want to go to. i know for a fact im going to get the grades they want for the course so i was wondering do you think i should accept their offer and go into clearing on results day like you did or should i go into clearing straight away
Hey! My advice would be to accept their offer and then go into clearing on results day like I did. You seem very confident that you've got the grades which is great and very reassuring, but I would say that is the more safe option x
Hi for your shortcut, I'm having a hard time understanding, is this done through UCAS? or is the shortcut calling the school before the list of clearing courses are released? thanks x When would I call them - on results day or prior to this?
Hey! The shortcut I described was done by calling the school before the list of clearing courses are released officially on the UCAS website. This would be on results day immediately when you receive your results to maximise your chances of success. I'm planning to make an updated video about the clearing process before 2024 results day but please let me know if you have any more questions before then x
- [ ] Hi, can I apply for clearing before exam results come in, because i saw it opens on the 5th of July, so can I start applying through clearing then? I’m unsure if I’ve received the grades i need for my offer for the university i want to go to, or do i have to do it all on the day of my results? - [ ] Also can i have apply for clearing for the university I might have been declined from? - [ ] Thank you, Tem!!
Hello, I have just replied to your first question below, hope that helps. For your second question, I would advise that you contact the specific university to find this out to avoid disappointment on the day of clearing x

Also so i have to have a personal statement for clearningv Also what Thank you, Tem!!
Hey! I've just researched this and unfortunately you cannot apply through clearing until you have your results. Here is where I found this information www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/student-advice/final-choice/clearing-faqs#:~:text=What%20are%20the%20Clearing%202024,fewer%20places%20will%20be%20available.
Secondly, it depends on the course and university you're applying to whether you need a personal statement. I would say have one just in case to be on the safe side x

unis tend to fill up the clearing spaces with a 'first come first serve' policy- so idk if you can appeal, unless you let them know in advance that you're getting a grade appealed. Also, yes they do ask for grades when you call up.
Hey! Yes as kindly answered by @saimahorwhatever clearing spaces tend to go quite quickly on a 'first come first serve' policy so I'm not sure how an appeal would work. Also, it really depends on the course you're applying to and the requirements to whether those grades would be accepted
Hey, I've just had a look and the last date to take the UCAT for 2024 entry was 28th September 2023. I'm so sorry to tell you this.

Hey, in terms of extra curricular activities I went to the gym often, read lots, baked, volunteered at my local care home and had a part-time job at M&S that turned into full-time once the pandemic hit
this video was very helpful! i have a lot of anxiety for my application to midwifery this year, and am currently in my second and final year of BTEC applied science. the whole process can be very daunting, i have received two interview invitations which is great, but the anxiety that my results won’t meet the expectations is quite bad. thank you for making this video, it’s very helpful! you’re amazing!

Hey, I'm glad you found the video helpful, thank you for your kind comments! Bless you, the whole process can be very overwhelming but it sounds like you have accomplished a lot so far and I hope it all pays off for you. Wishing you the best of luck! xx

It hurts to suck at maths gcse cuz I know how to do everything and just mess up due to doubt and I did my mocks and got only a 5 whilst others got 7s and I’m aiming for that 6 yk :/ hopefully I can achieve that. I’m way better at English and I’m not accepting that without a 6 in maths 😭
Hey, I know its easier said than done but try not to compare yourself to others, it does greater harm than good. You've still got plenty of time, I'm sure you will be able to achieve that with enough hard work! Plus if you've got other strong subjects like English that could really work in your favour. Wishing you all the best with your GCSEs x
@@medwithtemI Hope i can still do medicine if I get 7s mostly (expect for the odd 6s) in my GCSEs :) I’m also doing history which I chose, and then French and art! My final predictions : Art-7 History-7 English Lit- 7 English Lang- 7 Bio- 6 Chem- 6 Physics - 6 French (HT) - 5 Maths- ughhh the 5 I’m sad ab
@@user-fr1sf2gt9d I hope so too! I'm not sure if the GCSE grade requirements have changed since I applied but medical schools generally ask for a minimum of six subjects with a grade 6 or above, so seems like you're on track :)

@@sumaya9645 Oh dear, I’m so sorry :( I would say your best bet now is to probably try and contact ucas either through their social media or their phone line
You have been the only person who managed to explain everything nicely and calm me down, thanks a lot! I'm about to call them soon and I'm very stressed. Thanks to you, I'm feeling better now
When you initially ring them up they don’t tend to ask any specific questions like that, in my case they didn’t anyway. You just explain that you want to apply for a place then they will ask you for things like your personal details and also GSCE and A-level results to determine if you’re eligible for the next stage. This will depend depending on the university but personally I had to complete a maths test, a Roles and Responsibility form and have an interview for Sunderland
Hey! If someone is rejected when applying through clearing it really depends on the person what happens next. They may choose to apply for other courses still in clearing or if it’s a dream course they missed out on, they may choose to apply in the next academic year and take a year out
Hey! You could call earlier if the university are not showing up on UCAS as being in clearing for the course you were considering and you wanted to double check. For more competitive courses, it’s most likely that they will not have any clearing spaces until results day so I would recommend calling up as soon as you get your results
Hello! Thank you for watching ❤️ It depends on the course you are apply for, for more competitive courses it’s more likely that you will have to go through the interview process. For medicine, I personally had to go through all the tests and interviews given to the people who did not apply through clearing
@medwithtem8345 wait uhm so...if the university is more competitive (e.g uhm I don't know Brighton for example) a student given a verbal offer may have to go through an interview?Even thought they are going through clearance? Also,thank you for your reply :)
@@bellastarmartin4601 No worries at all! It's more to do with how competitive the course is rather than the actual university and if an interview was required for the students that got an offer via the non-clearing route. If an interview was required for these students then it's likely you will have to have an interview too, if there was no interview required for them then I doubt that you would have to have one
@@medwithtem oh no.Because I'm going through clearance for medicine and (*I'm going to honest because I would like some words of wisdom)I want to apply to Brighton and Sussex medical school. Damn you think I would still have too,I haven't gotten accommodation yet(Don't worry I have already done my research.)but I don't know if there is any available (going to call and ask on the day). Also,yeah thank you for taking time because I'm an only child and I don't have anyone in my family I can go to for advice about Uni ect (got to do the research myself😥.Doing my best to stay calm)I had places for Biomed but in the end I decided to go through clearance and go straight medicine.
Hey! If a uni has shown that they have the course you want to apply for in clearing then you can start calling them directly or alternatively, apply through UCAS x
Actually i am 17 year old and when i came uk i was 14 i didn't get admission 2 year i am just at hoem last year i call in every school again so they know she is 16 she shuld be in collage so i just take health and social care. Know after one year of social care i am doing work experience volunteering at hospital she tell me that you can do gcse privately. Your video really motivate me to take gcse. Please tell me which gcse subject needed for medical i mean must gcse for medical.
Hello! Thank you so much for watching ❤️ The GCSE’s medical schools typically ask for are English Language, Maths and Sciences. The requirement may differ between each medical school so you would need to go to their website to find out the specifics for each one x Here is a link you may find helpful www.themedicportal.com/application-guide/choosing-a-medical-school/gcse-requirements-for-medicine/#:~:text=In%20addition%20to%20A%2DLevel,grades%207%2D9%20at%20GCSE.
Hey I'm currently doing my GCSEs, I'm going to take bio chem and pe next year for a levels but what grades do I need to get. Are 7s and a few 8s ok and maybe an odd 6 in like a weak subject ?
Hey, that should be okay! My lowest grade was a 4 in Spanish and I still managed to get in. However, most medical schools ask that you have a minimum number of GCSEs within a range of grades for example 6-9 and they may even specify that certain subjects such as Maths and English Language be in this list. Your best bet would be going to the website of the medical schools you were looking to apply to and looking at their specific grade requirements. Hope that helps x
Hey, of course I don’t mind sharing 😊 English Language - 7 English Literature - 6 Maths - 7 Biology - 9 Chemistry - 9 Physics - 7 History - 9 Food and Nutrition - 9 Business Level 2 - Distinction * Spanish - 4 ICT - B
Hey! Technically you could call first before declining but it just puts you in an awkward position if they say have places but you still hold offers because then they are unable to offer you anything. So my best advice would be to decline all offers before calling, but make sure you’ve weighed up all the pros and cons before doing so x
Update! You do not need to decline all offers before calling the uni, you can wait till you receive another offer first but following this, you will have to decline any existing offer on UCAS Hub. Note: In my personal experience I was only eligible for an interview because I did not hold any other offers and the course had very limited spaces already
Hey! My screen was split at that point and the left hand side was the online textbook of the Oxford Handbook of Geriatric Medicine and the right hand side was Anki :)
