Tip No. 1

Just relax. If you can keep yourself calm and level-headed, then you have a better chance of being successful when talking to the different universities. You will be able to make better decisions when it comes to choosing which universities to call and which one you would like to accept as your final offer.

Tip No. 2

Be prepared. The best way to help yourself out and be as stress-free as possible is to know exactly what you are doing. Have a plan of action. Before you start frantically making phone calls, make a list of universities that you like, and which ones you would like to talk to. You will already have applied for a specific subject area during your UCAS application. Think about whether this is something you might want to consider changing. Have all your details written down in front of you on the phone like your UCAS number and this will help make the process easier and faster.

Tip No. 3

Take your time. There is nothing worse than rushing your decision and then later regretting the choice that you made. You want to make sure that you absolutely made the right choice, so take a minute to compare your offers – chances are you will have a few – and see which one is the right one for you.
