Early application deadline - 15 October 2007
If your son or daughter is applying for medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine/science, Oxford University or University of Cambridge, please remind them that their application must be received at UCAS by 15 October 2007.
If their school, college or centre will be providing their reference online, please ensure that they allow enough time for their referee to check their application and attach the reference before they send it to us.
If your son or daughter is applying as an individual, please ensure that they allow enough time to check their application and attach the reference before sending it to us.
An application for any of the above courses/institutions received after this date (but by 30 June 2008) will still be sent to the chosen universities and colleges, but the institutions are not obliged to consider it.
It is important that they check their application thoroughly before sending it to their referee or to UCAS.
If your son or daughter is applying to Oxford University or University of Cambridge, they must fill in a separate paper application form from that university as well as the UCAS application. They can get this from their school or college or from the relevant university.
Royal Mail postal strikes
If applying for either Oxford or Cambridge, we advise that your son or daughter checks the relevant university's website to find out how the postal strike affects receipt of their application form.
