Secondly, I don't know if you're still wondering what to do about the disability section, but if you are - I didn't tell them I had rheumatoid arthritis when I applied, I didn't think it was necessary and was worried about how it would look. And I regretted it big time - when I came to uni, it was a long struggle trying to get all the help I needed from student support, because they'd had no prior warning. They were brilliant, but it took quite a while. If they know in advance it can be pretty much all set up when you get there (e.g Note takers for lectures, help with getting to and from uni etc).
Hope that helps. If you have any questions about getting by with arthritis at uni, feel free to ask. And good luck with the application!

on a slightly different point, more of a little rant actually... aren't ucas crap. how on earth can they justify charging £15 to process an application ofrm when all it involves is making a few photocopies of the form and forwarding it to the unis you select and sending you a few letters. bloody rip off. and for online applications, they have to do even less.
Thanks!
Hopefully though my condition won't get bad enough for me to need note-takers and the like (Psoriatic Arthritis is apparently known as the mildest form of Arthritis).
Just wanted to let you know the options, because I was positive I wouldn't need any help, but after a few weeks of hardly any sleep and some pretty bad food when I started uni, my body decided it had had enough! But I'm glad your arthritis is under control, cross fingers!

Am just about finished with the application and just need to fill in my results from my former school.
It has some weird field stating EXAM, which needs to be filled in. It's next to the month and year space.
What type of qualification is it you are entering?
I'm finally finishing mine and sending off this evening.
if I remember rightly EXAM is the subject field? or the exam board...
Our system is a bit different than yours.
So I have typed in my grades from high-school (british colleges/sixth-form). And now need to put in my grades from regular school.
Where are you applying btw?
Can't be subject field as the space in the box is limited. Maybe its the exam board (don't know what that is)... Thing is, it doesn't let me leave that space unmarked.
Yup.
Ah. I can't really help other than that. Mine went a while ago
If anyone knows, then PLEASE reply!
I'm sure its exam board for us. give ucas a ring tomorrow morning! you finalised your 6?

A bit of a mix! I bet i'll get rejected from Manchester, which is my first choice. Which ones are you applying to?
Think so.
Think I'll stick to Bristol, Edinburgh, LSE, Manchester, Sheffield and Warwick.
ooh, we might end up going to the same uni! What subject area/s is you're applying for?
oops, just read one of your earlier posts Jacqueline the Ripper, and now I know it's Politics and International Relations!
He he, it's ok
Now, I have finally managed to send off my application.
But aren't I meant to get some kind of confirmation to my e-mail?
And the code it wants me to fill in when wanting to track my application, where do I get that from?
Btw, for anyone interested, I decided to apply to both the straight International Relations course and the International Relations and History course at LSE, meaning that I used the space I had before reserved for Bristol for one more LSE course. Figured that I don't want to go to Bristol as badly as the other places.
The application takes upto 48hrs to be processed by UCAS, at which point they'll send you a confirmation letter with your details in. If you log into 'apply' after rhe period your track login details will appear there.
Good luck
Thank you so much for your help! X
