On nationality details there is this question. Please tell us your date of first entry to UK but l have never been there before what do l do

[@dudukineiloe]

Enter the date you expect to enter the country when you start your studies. A safe date to use which goes with most UK Universities is 31 August of the year you want to start. Most universities start in September.

I've been prepping a presentation for international students about how to apply to uni through UCAS and this video has been a God send! Thank you so much 😄

[@Giselleternal]

Dear Matthew, is UCAS to get a scholarship? I'm disoriented...

[@dudukineiloe]

@@Giselleternal UCAS is to apply to the university. It is a platform that has the Application form. So instead of going to a university website to find the application, you go on UCAS and select the university, then it will be sent to that university.

[@MariaGonzalez-fv2uj]

same question

[@adityagautam9306]

No don't worry. You don't have to give IELTS or TOEFL in UCAS. Once a uni gives an offer letter, it will mention the English requirement they need. And then you have until the end of August to submit the IELTS or TOEFL scores. In your UCAS application, under the head English Language Requirements or something similar, it will ask you to write yes if you don't speak English as your first language. Input yes and then it will ask for your TOEFL or IELTS TRF number. Just leave them blank and save the section and mark it as complete and you'll be good to go.

Hey I actually had a question Do they require grades starting from 8th grade to 12th grade?? Or just 10th and 12th??

[@dudukineiloe]

Basically that last 2 major exams. They mainly focus on the final exams, so 12th grade, but if you take another serious exam with a recognizable exam board before that it can help in considering your application, particularly if there are some subjects you did then that you didn’t do in the final year.
