(UCAS’ similarity detection service: every personal statement is run


through software to check for plagiarism). If it appears to have been
copied from another source, UCAS will inform the universities and
colleges to which you have applied. They will then take the action
they consider appropriate.

You can only mark ‘this section as complete’ on the Preview screen
Choosing the Right Course
The Institution code for the University of East Anglia is E14.
Decisions
Universities and colleges will review the:
• Personal statement
• Qualifications
• Reference

They may ask for:


• Admissions test
• Interview
• Portfolio/Audition
Tracking Your Application
Follow your application 24/7:
• See your choices
• Keep personal information up to date
• View and reply to your offers

You will receive one of three decisions from your choices:


• Unconditional offer
• Conditional offer
• Unsuccessful
Replies to Offers
Once you have decisions on all your choices, you can choose two:
• One as a ‘firm’ acceptance – your first choice
• The other as an ‘insurance’ acceptance. This acts as a back-up if you do not
get into your ‘firm’ choice

Any remaining offers must be declined. Once all your decisions and replies
have been made, if you are not holding an offer, you may be able to use Extra
or Clearing to find available places.

Clearing (5 July – October)


• Apply after 30 June, receive no offers, decline all offers, not met conditions
• Find vacancies from 5 July and add a Clearing choice to your application
