There’s another deadline approaching – if you are in the
main body of UCAS applicants whose universities had given their offers/refusals
by 31st March, then you need to reply to these by May 8th.
For advice on deadlines, visit
Perran and Carenza have both replied to their offers but I
feel moved to check.
Just in case.
Sometimes you hit the wrong button, or the system can’t
complete your entry until you’ve answered a question, or there’s one more box
to fill in that you haven’t noticed. The
last of these is exactly what happened to me in the Autumn when I applied for
my PGCE course – I thought my application was complete, but actually my
reference had been “saved” not “sent”.
It took me a while to realise this, but the person on
the excellent helpline sorted me out immediately. I must have sounded panicky as I registered
they were using the kind of soothing “calm down” voice that works on small
children.
When I ask the twins to look at UCAS Track again, I’m
anticipating indignant glances and muttered comments about paranoia, but I
shall remind them that from September, they will have ample space to make their
own mistakes!
Meanwhile, I’m working hard to get ready another piece of my
writing that I’d like to share with you – a novel based in my own homeland –
Cornwall. Drolls and Weirds has its feet firmly planted in the Cornish tin-mining
of two hundred years ago, and its head in the clouds of myths and legends that
surround the county.
