Your guide to Clearing

Hello my name is Peace and I applied  through Clearing at Middlesex and I was also  a Clearing advisor. I am here to give you my top  tips on applying through Clearing to make it a  really positive experience. So applying through  Clearing was a last minute decision for me. I  previously chose Energy Engineering because I  thought I was sure about what I wanted to do but  
then I changed my mind to Marketing because I got  more into social media and I just wanted to work  
in that industry in the future. Before I made  the first call with the Clearing advisor I was  
very unsure and I didn't know what to expect but  once I called them they were like very friendly  
and they made it simple and they knew exactly  what they were doing by asking me the right  
questions and that just made me feel like very  secure in my choice. There are lots of reasons  
why people might want to apply through Clearing,  for instance if you didn't get the right grade,  
if you were not sure about starting this year but  now you're thinking of starting this year or if  
you're just like me and you change your mind  Clearing is also for you. So my top tips for  
someone who wants to apply through Clearing are  have your exam results ready, be prepared to talk  
about your experience and why you want to study  that chosen course. Lastly make sure you have  
a positive attitude and have positive things  to say about yourself. Once you get in touch  
with the Clearing advisors team at Middlesex,  you'll have a lot of personal advice about your  
different options, support on finalizing your  application, and remember there's no pressure  
we want you to make the right decision for you and  your future. Clearing opens in July and closes in  
October so as soon as you get your exam results  don't hesitate and apply as soon as possible,  
and you can apply through calling us, messaging us  via live chat on the website or through WhatsApp
