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: There are online ones.
gollark: Open days? Yes. Except not now because COVID-19.
