I realise that some people on this forum (including myself) are planning to go to university next year, and I figured it'd be nice to see who was going and how far they have got with their UCAS application.
I received my confirmation letter from UCAS the other day to say they have received my application, all I can do now is wait..
The university's/courses I have applied for are
University of Lincoln: Games Computing
University of Lincoln: Computing
Sheffield Hallam: Software Development (Games) - Offer - not for this course, however
Northumbira University: Computer Games Software Engineering - Offer
Nottingham Trent University: Computer Science (Games Technology) - Offer
I have received 3 offers so far.
What universitys have you applied for? Had any offers/Rejections yet?

Damn my ill-informed college.
So basically, people in Year 13 now who tell UCAS they are taking a gap year, will pay the normal fees like everyone else?
It still means that people who are starting in 2006 will have to pay mind.
Stupid goverment.

Nope, you can take a gap year. It's official, because I phoned up UCAS and asked them.
Do your form and everything this year, get accepted and defer...and you won't have to pay the extra fees.

I'm planning on taking a year off after Uni, then bore my colleagues about Peru.

Thank God my hat was in fact sewn by the blind orphans of Tanzania.

The structure's also a bit messed up; 3 modules for the year? Hmmm.
Only noticed St. Andrews Uni after someone told me about their 98% employment rate after graduation. Then I had a look at their syllabus, and noticed boredom across the board, so I'm happy.
