Please make sure you turn up on time for your exams. It is disruptive to others and unfair if you delay the start or turn up when others have started and are trying to concentrate.
You should have returned your re-sit forms on Monday. If you haven’t there are later entry fees which means the longer you leave it, the higher the price.
UCAS deadline is Thursday at 6.00pm. You should now be thinking about your student finance application – follow this link https://www.gov.uk/student-finance
You need to get this in by May if you want your fees/grant for the start of your course.
Also, if you’ve had all your offers or you are sure where you want to go (you can reject places that you are still waiting on) you should make your firm and insurance choice. This should trigger them sending you stuff about accommodation. Apply early for the best halls.
Good news on the graduate salaries front – they are higher and more jobs are out there. The headline figures are a little misleading, but the median salary for the TOP 100 COMPANIES is now £30,000. Aldi will have to sift through a massive application avalanche with their £41,000 starting salary. Public sector starting salaries are more like £16,000 (nice to see society has got its priorities right – who needs teachers and nurses when you can buy cheap champagne!) with the average across all graduate jobs being mid £20,000s. As ever, it depends where you work and who for. Salaries are higher in London and the SE.
