How the applications process works
You choose several different university courses. You fill in an application form. You get offers, interviews or rejections. You get exam results. You get drunk. You go to university. You get even more drunk. You graduate. You get a job. You wish you were drunk.
Things you'll hear a lot:
UCAS (pronounced yoo-cas): universities’ post office
Personal statement: look at the size of my tackle
Prospectus: look at the size of our tackle
Conditional offer: we’ll show you ours if you show us yours
Unconditional offer: come back to my place
Rejection: size matters…
Clearing: …but not to us
Open day: checking out the talent
Interviews: Dad, buy me a suit
