Be prepared: research and shortlist alternative universities ahead of results day, asking uni's about their course, finance options and accommodation if needed.
Be flexible:be open to other suggestions to find the best fit for you – e.g. a joint honours degree, a course that suits other interests, or a foundation year.
Stay positive: don’t just take the first offer, wait to hear back from your shortlisted unis. Check emails, as offers must be accepted within a given timeframe.
