You have been the only person so far who can calm me down about clearing. Thank you for your video.

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!

- [ ] 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!!

[@shamirjilani1496]

Hi , Can you please tell me if I can sit the UCAT this summer for clearing because i did not sit it last summer.

[@zoeyt5399]

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?

[@amna8063]

Could you please make another week in the life of a med student video, those are soo much fun to watch!

[@medwithtem]

Yess that will be the one of my first when we return back in September, thank you for all the love Amna I appreciate it so much 🥰

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

[@Backupacc49]

Can you appeal for clearing and will unis accept if you got below c for all a levels? Are they(uni) gonna ask for you grade when you call?

[@saimahorwhatever]

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.

[@rosiesanjon3257]

Since clearing has already opened, what does this mean for us, can we start calling unis or speak with them? xx

[@medwithtem]

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

[@laibarafiq9074]

If you get an offer for a medicine interview, is that an offer so you can't apply for other medicine universities through clearing?

[@medwithtem]

No, you can still apply to others at that point

[@dorise8577]

What about if someone is rejected with cleaning ?

[@medwithtem]

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

[@TJ-jp6zy]

Would you recommend calling the day before results day or earlier?

[@medwithtem]

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

[@sue9302]

hi ! my ucat was 2300 which got me rejected from all 4 this year :( do i still have a chance

[@medwithtem]

Hey! I’m so sorry to hear about your rejections, it’s not a nice feeling at all and it’s hard to stay motivated when it happens. Being honest I can’t really say because it all depends on if Medicine goes into clearing this year and if it does, how much the medical schools that do base their selection process on the UCAT compared to other aspects such as your A Level grades and work experience. My best advice would be to stay very active on sites such as thestudentroom to keep up to date with all the medical school that may be going into clearing and prioritise calling the ones that take lower UCAT score first once your results come through x

[@sue9302]

@@medwithtem hi ! thank you so much for replying ! it really means a lot to me ! I will call some places up - only thing is i don't know how to find my clearing number ?

[@medwithtem]

@@sue9302 No problem at all 😅 Did you currently have an offer to a non-medicine option? If so you won’t be in clearing until you reject that offer but if you don’t then it should be under ‘Application status’ on UCAS x

@@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

[@theturnoffinblue5937]

Can I get in with only my IGCSE? And maybe my IELTS

[@medwithtem]

Hello, this depends entirely on the course you wanted to apply for. Did you mean for medicine?

[@manimoneytv]

should i call my first choice uni before i go into clearing if i dont get my grades or should i call once i go into clearing? thanks

[@medwithtem]

If you already have an offer from them, call your first choice uni first as they may allow you to still enter if you have just slightly missed your grades!

[@manimoneytv]

@@medwithtem ok thank you

[@MojoyinolaAjayi]

For medicine clearing what kinds of questions do they ask when you ring them up? Is it like an interview? What do you say to them?

[@medwithtem]

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

[@MojoyinolaAjayi]

@@medwithtem thank you so much! Really helpful. Was your interview an MMI?

[@medwithtem]

@mojoyinolaajayi6570 Yes it was! But it took place online due to COVID restrictions

[@sayanikasaha7660]

do we need to decline all the offers before calling the uni?

[@medwithtem]

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

[@medwithtem]

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
