First Choice, Insurance, UCAS Extra, Clearing

Tommy

好 confused, 尤其 UCAS Extra 是什麽，有無家長可幫手簡單解釋？謝謝您們！

If the student has not applied through UCAS at the beginning of 2016, can he participate in the UCAS ...

The UCAS application deadline for most Veterinary Medicine/Science courses was 15 Oct 2015.

The chance is very low because most Vet courses require interview.

行得通,除了一些大學一定要完成正規的中學課程。

年齡限制?你的意思係咪指本地監護人的安排。

UCAS系統應該乜人都用得。如果你指要交的文件,那最少要有personal statement,校內成績和reference letter。

你一定係想入牛劍或神科,講面試。大多學科都沒面試海外生。不過,現在有些大學有informal interview。見完之後,她們可以降低offer的condition。

如果有考AS level,學校應該不難給predicted grade。如果真的不肯,你可以找一些教育機構幫手,好似上面條link,你自己睇。

如果你有考AS level,有些大學會給unconditional offer,那你就不用等放榜。

對準備DSE的影響,就應該係可能少了時間準備DSE,影響了成績,最後兩頭唔到岸。

我有朋友個仔F5,會考五月的IAL，但他都是以本地大學目標，已報non-jupas，中大已有面試。
若他成功，即是可早一年入大學，相反便繼績DSE,出年jupas再報。
這是行得通？香港入大學沒有年齡限制？

甘我想問英國有没有？因F5考IAL即是得17崴。UCAS 有没有甚麽條件才報？還有没有Predicted Grade,即是沒有了面試機會？祇可在公布成績後才知有甚麽大學收？若第二年用DSE 報UCAS有没有甚麽影響？

Hi ChiChiPaPa,
曾經看過你建議在F5 考GCE AL, 看來沒有實行嗎？在這方面有没有可分享的地方？

女兒考3X,空餘時間不多,而她的目標係本地大學,所以最後無考IAL。不過,我有繼續留意IAL,因我重有個細仔。其實,有些tutorial centre,如ITS,係可以提供HKDSE和IAL範圍的gap analysis。不過,都要睇自己學校的教學進度,才知要補番那些範圍才可應考。

據我所知,UCAS提供不到的成績,係要學生自己交給大學的。

我的女兒都係今年報大學。由於她最想入本地大學, ...

其實只有UEA低D,其他都晤易，有咁嘅成續香港大學都讀到。

我記得去到40幾名要求就不高。例如Salford都係要求不高。何況英國有百多所大學,我估尾後那些更容易。我最初係想報Salford做最後條安全線。不過,Agent同我講沒這個需要。

其實只可以選一個confirm的選擇,一個insurance選擇,就算報多幾間低收生都無用,因只能揀一間做insurance。

另外就算最終低過個condition都不一定是問題。我知有好多case低過個condition都照收。

報名之前,我把CUG會計排名頭50的大學做了一個表。記得有大學,如Chester, 只要求DSE level 3,比UEA更低。

以上係Cardiff的會計及管理雙主修學位的連結。

其實我和太太有建議女兒考慮其他組合,例如會計加法律或會計加電腦,不過女兒只同意會計加管理。係雙主修,不是雙學位,所以只係讀3年。不過,選雙主修都有缺點:1.獲ACCA豁免的科目通常較單一會計主修少,2.好多都係得30個位,如果多人報,就好易被reject,3.有些大學雙主修出路無單一會計主修咁好,好似UEA,女兒就只係報了單一主修會計,所以個offer同妳的兒子一樣係44。

其他報了的大學有Nottingham-555,Cardiff-5544,Lancaster-554。另外,報了Leeds,未知結果。

香港有沒有建構安全網？

香港的安全網咪係3322。萬一中文低過3,就會穿。凡事都要作最壞打算,要做到萬無一失。

Many thanks for Manning and Peter's further explanation.  That's what we really get stuck.  I think I understand now.  It's difficult and strategic what to put as the Insurance Choice.  That might be the reason why some students do not opt for an "Insurance Choice".

Do you think if there is any data base keeping the prior records of remaining places for different courses offered by different Uni at different time slot during Clearing?

ChiChiPaPa,
你現在身體康服了吧!祝你身體健康。兒子也是報Accounting, 不過要求也不是很低，不知你女兒報那幾間大學？我兒子報Surrey 收554/Cardiff 收4433/UEA 收44 in electives. Accounting and management雙學位， 是否也是讀3年？可否俾條link我參考吓，謝謝。

Tommy, Sorry for having misguided you! Manning 2014 is right. Reading through UCAS website (without initially watching the video), I was under the assumption that once you failed with your 1st choice, your insurance choice automatically becomes your firm offer and therefore makes you eligible for adjustment. However, having watched the video, even though your insurance choice does automatically becomes your firm offer in terms of acceptance by them, it does not make you eligible for adjustment. I do apologise for my oversight.And thank you Manning 2014 for correcting my mistake.

NO!  Please read this link carefully, it explains that "Adjustment - If you've met and exceeded conditions for your firm choice, you might be thinking about looking for an alternative course."

https://www.ucas.com/ucas/undergraduate/apply-and-track/results/adjustment-%E2%80%93-if-you%E2%80%99ve-done-better-expected

That means if your son result fails his firm choice offer and only met and exceed his insurance offer, he cannot go through Adjustment. He can only go to insurance university. If he finally didn't want to go to insurance one,  he need to  inform that insurance university and withdraw his place. Having successfully declined the insurance, he can go to apply for another university through Clearing procedure.

Since it will take some time (maybe a few day) for the insurance university released your son, before your son can go to Clearing, the vacancy of other university will be a lot less. Places in Clearing/Adjustment during the time after A-Levers result disappear very quick. So my advise is your son only put that university as insurance if he really want to attend. Don't just put a insurance offer for the sake of insurance (if he never want to go).
