Recently, some students from Rieter abroad are preparing to go to the UK for their undergraduate studies in September 2024, and many students have now submitted their UCAS applications。I believe that when students fill in the UCAS application, they will encounter a lot of problems that they do not understand. What does the word mean, that is, they do not know what the application refers to。For example, what is an Adviser, what is Clearing, and what is Firm choice？
Today we will encounter these terms to sum up, please refer to the students:
The following content is from the official website of UCAS:
