UCAS online tracker ...

Any T21ers experianced in using this thingie? I've poked around the UCAS site, and found the right page -- https://update.ucas.co.uk/cgi-bin/hsrun.hse/appenq/appenq/appenq.hjx;start=appenq.Hsentry.run -- but it wants a password, and I don't remember being asked for one on the UCAS form. How'd you get one?

Any help for someone suffering from Dread Machine Syndrome much appreciated.

You should have got a password on the confirmation letter from UCAS with your application number. It's terrible, I've found myself checking it every few minutes, even though it says it's only updated every 3 hours (it doesn't say where to count that from though!), I'm really obsessive!

Cheers.

Time to get out my UCAS stuff, which is of course buried in a pile of old newspapers. (Goddammit, it's my system and it works ... ok, no it doesn't.)

You're dead right, waiting on uni applications is the crack pipe of the education system!

OK, I know that the fact that I have to ask this is probably a bad thing, but what is a UCAS tracker, exactly?

An evil, addictive online gadget to track the progress of your university applications. In the olden days I hear you had to ring round, which took time and a high-tolerance of tetchy admissions people, but now it's all so dastardly easy.

Finally dug out the UCAS password today (it had migrated to the bottom of a pile of 2-year-old A-level coursework ... get Hawking to explain *that* one!) and ... sweet fanny adam , the form's blanker than the Pope's little black book.

UCAS is officially the spawn of the

I'm applying to do midwifery, mum threw my passwordy thing away. I haven't go in anywhere, have several interviews, not a word from Bristol where I want to go. UCAS is evil.
