Clearing and Adjustment in UK universities

Some time back we welcomed Jim Faherty to discuss UK Applications. We dived into the UCAS Clearing and Adjustment processes, milestones for students heading into the summer break, or applying with early applications to Oxbridge. Jim is a University Guidance Counselor at ISF Academy in Hong Kong.  Before being a school counselor, Jim worked as a student recruitment and admissions officer at the University of Liverpool and Goldsmith University of London. If you work with any students interested in attending university in the UK, this short edited chat is a must.
