Tip 1
Our first top tip for your UCAS application would be to start early.
For example, if your application is in January, start in September. This gives plenty of time for you to focus on your personal statement, your choices and universities.
Tip 2
Our second top tip for UCAS applications is to start your interview prep as soon as possible.
A lot of universities give you a one week notice for your interview slot, and starting early will mean that you’re better prepared and could perform better in the interview.
Tip 3
Our third and final top tip would be to utilise your friends.
Especially if they are applying for the same course. For example, both of us are applying for Medicine and most of our interview prep is with each other and with other medicine applicants.
