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?

Oh I see.
I thought the referee was some big important bloke at ucas who would take away all my stuff and shout at me.
That'll be my gay technology-phobic tutor trying to steal my paper.

We had to fill in the online form, then when it was completed, click "send to referee", who is then supposed to deal with the application from then on in. The 'referee' adds in the 'references', funnily enough (with me, anyway) and the referee in my school was the head of Careers.
Ask your careers teacher.

Ask your careers teacher.
Yeah, I'm just gonna print it off and pay with it all by check.
I was told to that, but the big warning at the top kinda threw me.

Your college is meant to take care of it (!)
I suggest talking to your tutor/head of college, the thing you print off is just something for you to give to people to check to see if it's OK.

Haven't given the form in yet.
I got a bit confused, though.
I've done it all online, but now I need it print it off so I can get my references put on it. Apparently they'll do that and then send it off.
But the thing you print off has "DO NOT SEND THIS TO UCAS" on the top of it.
?
And I need to pay as well.
I'd like to pay online ... but once you do that it sends the thing off to the referee, whoever that is. But if I do that, the references won't be on it.

Very true
These are all the things that are really true about that email:
*Two miles is not too far to walk for a party.
*You'd rather clean than study especially if an essay is due.
*Parents' cooking becomes something you desire, not avoid.
*You know the pizza boy by name and don't even need to read the menu.
*You live for getting mail.
*Looking out the window is a form of entertainment.
*Prank phone calls become funny again.
*You start thinking and sounding like your friends and your accent becomes a hybrid of West Country, Surrey and general Northern.
*The weekend lasts from Thursday to Monday.
BEFORE I CAME TO UNIVERSITY, I WISH I HAD KNOWN...
*That it didn't matter how early my first lecture was, I'd still sleep through it.
*That I could change so much and barely realize it.
*That you can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways.
*No matter how 'cool' you were in school, no one here cares.
*That if you got good a-levels, so what? It doesn't matter here.
*That I would go to a party the night before an exam or essay due-date.
*That you can know everything and fail a test.
*That you can know nothing and ace a test.
*That I could get used to almost anything found out about my friends.
*That most of my education would be obtained outside of lectures.
*That friendship is more than getting drunk together but that's still funny!
*That Sunday is a figment of the world's imagination.
*That Psychology is really Biology, that Biology is really Chemistry, that Chemistry is really and Physics is really Maths.
*That it's possible to be alone even when you are surrounded by friends.
TOP 10 REASONS THAT UNIVERSITY IS LIKE PRESCHOOL
9. You cross the street without looking for cars.
8. Snack time is a necessity.
7. You bundle up for the outdoors without caring what you look like (because everyone else looks as stupid as you do).
6. You stay at home and play games with your friends.
3. Playing in the snow is a legitimate activity.
1. You look forward to cheese toasties !
