gollark: Mine has an internal deadline in November so I assume you have at least a few weeks.
gollark: I mean, you probably have *some* amount of time. Your school thing might have a deadline a bit before the UCAS one to manage paperwork and stuff.
gollark: January THIS year? That seems wrong. It's the same calendar year as when you do A levels I'm pretty sure.
gollark: Hmm, so the application deadline is January but your school might require stuff earlier.
gollark: There are online ones.
