When do we apply for L2A
Gabbie

How do we apply for uni accommodation and student finance etc
AvatarMolly
4:04
@Kalbir - we'll send out loads of info about A2L next year, it's still a little early to be thinking about it atm!
Gabbie
4:04
My worry is how i am going to afford uni?
Sayed Howlader
4:05 
Is it a problem if you apply 
For medicine and engineering at the same time?
Ishmal Zahra

When are the BMAT booking dates are opening.
AvatarJames Leslie
4:06
@Gabbie uni accommodation and finance will open when you have applied on UCAS, so when you are in Year 13 - its really ealy still to be giving you info on these as dates and deadlines change every year. We look at this in Get Set For Uni Part 3 in October when you are in Year 13 and just before all the booking portals open :)

@Sayed - they are both super competitive courses, so realistically it wouldn't be a great idea to apply to both at the same time because you would struggle to make your application and personal statement fit both courses. For Medicine you have your 5th option but this is usually something a little less competitive such as Biomedical Sciences, Pharmacy, etc

@Ishmal, they are not available yet. You can keep up to date here: https://www.admissionstesting.org/for-test-takers/bmat/bmat-november/d...
AvatarJames Leslie

you could take a look online now but remember that the info you read applies to this years entry and not next if that makes sense :)
Sania Arfan
4:07
Yeah same, I want to move out but how do people afford it??
Kalbir SB
4:07
Do we apply to L2A after we have submitted our UCAS application then?
Guest

what is clearing and how does it work?
AvatarHaaroon

@Kalbir, yes you apply to Access to Leeds (A2L) after submitting your UCAS application. We do advise not to leave it too long
Ishmal Zahra

What is L2A?
