THE WAY AHEAD TO QUEEN’S
Admissions – Next Steps
DECISIONS ON APPLICATIONS
Many UCAS applicants have by now received an offer for a course
Some applicants may have received decisions on all applications – but if not, do not panic
Universities aim to have most decisions made by 31 March but the deadline for decisions is 7 May (for applications received by 15 January)
REPLYING TO YOUR OFFERS
You can make one of three replies to your offers:Firm Choice (i.e. Conditional Firm – ‘CF’) Insurance Choice (i.e. Conditional Insurance – ‘CI’)Decline
You are allowed to hold up to two offers - a firm choice (CF) and an insurance choice (CI)
YOUR REPLIES – THINK CAREFULLY
FIRM CHOICE (CF)
• Your preferred course
• You are committed to this choice
• Be realistic
INSURANCE CHOICE (CI)
• Backup plan (i.e. lower target grades)
• You must be happy to study this course
WHEN TO REPLY
If you receive all your decisions by 31 March you are expected to reply to UCAS by 6 May
If you receive all your decisions by 7 May you are expected to reply to UCAS by 4 June
UCAS will advise you of the date by which you must reply
You do not have to reply to offers until you receive all decisions – do not feel pressurised to do so
