Now what?"},"content":{"rendered":"

If you\u2019re a student hoping to start your undergraduate degree in 2018, you probably know that the UCAS application deadline <\/a>for the majority of courses was 6 pm yesterday<\/strong>, January 15th. If, for whatever reason, you didn\u2019t hit submit on your application, don\u2019t despair. You may still be able to secure a place at your top choice school\u2014or find a spot on the perfect course you hadn\u2019t considered yet.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what to do if you missed the UCAS deadline:<\/p>\n

1. Finish polishing your application and get it ready to submit<\/h3>\n

Stay calm and don\u2019t assume the effort you\u2019ve put in so far has been wasted. Just because the deadline has passed, doesn\u2019t mean that universities won\u2019t consider late applicants. While an on-time submission via UCAS guarantees your application will be considered, U.K. schools continue accepting late applications until the end of June, as long as places are still available.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t procrastinate\u2014the sooner you submit your application, the better chance you\u2019ll have of being considered. So whether your application is currently 5% or 95% complete, now<\/strong> is the time to finish it to the highest standard you can. That may mean spending a few more hours crafting your personal statement, giving everything another proofread or gathering final details for the rest of the application process.<\/p>\n

2. Talk to your school advisor or the relevant admissions offices<\/h3>\n

Before hitting submit on a late application, you may want to consider speaking to an academic or university advisor at your school if you have one. It\u2019s likely that they\u2019ve helped many students in your position before, and they may be able to give you practical advice to boost your chances of acceptance.<\/p>\n

Additionally, UCAS advises late applicants to get in touch with universities directly to ask about vacancies. If you\u2019re considering schools or programs that are likely to be competitive, you can call the admissions office to see if they\u2019re likely to accept late applications. Remember, you can only apply to a maximum of five courses via UCAS. If you know in advance that a school won\u2019t<\/strong> be able to accept you, it makes sense to pick an alternative before submitting your application.<\/p>\n

3. Submit your UCAS application ASAP<\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve polished your application and been strategic about your course choices, you\u2019ll want to get your application in as soon as possible. After submission, it may take several weeks for a decision, so don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t hear back straight away. And remember, even after you receive a decision on your application, you still have options through UCAS.<\/p>\n

If you applied for five courses and either weren\u2019t accepted or declined the offers, you may have the opportunity to gain a place on a different course through UCAS Extra<\/a> (until 4 July 2018) or via Clearing<\/a>. If you submitted your initial application after 30 June, you\u2019ll go straight into Clearing to seek a place on a course that still has vacancies.<\/p>\n

4. Consider alternative options<\/h3>\n

Some students who miss the UCAS deadline consider taking a gap year or applying to a university overseas. However, if your heart is set on studying in the U.K. in September, you\u2019re not necessarily restricted by a UCAS deadline. As a U.S. school with a London campus\u2014as well as undergraduate campuses in Boston and San Francisco\u2014Hult International Business School <\/a>offers alternative application deadlines to help us accommodate our international student body.<\/p>\n

While you can include Hult International Business School on your UCAS application Tracker (school code: H76, course code N1Q3), you can also apply directly through our own online application portal, giving you another option beyond UCAS. The information we ask in our online application mirrors what you\u2019ll need to provide for UCAS, but our rolling application deadlines mean you\u2019re not limited if you missed yesterday\u2019s UCAS cut off.<\/p>\n
