WHAT IS UCAS?
- A centralized service that students use to apply to all universities in all four nations of the United Kingdom
- Direct application to universities is rare in the UK, but possible at some
- Up to five courses (majors/programs) from up to five universities can be chosen
- There’s no order of preference and the universities/colleges won’t see where else students have applied until after any offers made are replied to
- There is no Early Action or Early Decision process/system in the UK
- The full application fee (up to five course choices) for 2023 is £27 ≈ $33. If a student makes just one course choice at one university (i.e. they are certain they will be accepted to that course) the fee is £22.50 ≈ $28
- No upload feature for documents – these are sent in (or are sent in by the relevant body such as College Board) when a university directly requests them
Terminology

- Qualifications = academic achievements such as standardised test scores (e.g. AP exams), High School GPA, High School diploma classes and grades, SAT/ACT scores, Associates Degree etc
