I was in the lucky situation of having no offers after my ucas application. No interviews, no nothing. I collected my results from school and quickly ran home to go through the clearing process.
At the time I used teletext to find what colleges and unis had places on courses, but I'm sure that stuff is all on the net now. I was a darned stressfulful time I can tell you. There are a lot of spare courses out there and, while they may not be at the best places, unless you want to be a the worlds greatest in some proffession it wont really matter where your degree is from.
Get your results and have three fun years in an old polytechnic. I did and am earning plenty. G'luck

Yes most will still take you. The trouble universities have is if they give you an offer and you accept it and get the grades then they have to take you. Therefore they cannot set too low a grade otherwise they could be overwhelmed, so a lot of them (depending on subject) will set a slightly higher grade than what they really want as then come results time they can slightly lower it depending on how many numbers they want in for they department/course.

Most Universities will accept you, don't panic there. The more students they have the more money they get, so they will move heaven and earth to keep you on their books! I needed 20 points to do pure French at Sussex, but only got 18. Within just a couple of days, they had offered me an alternative of Linguistics with French, and it turned out to be a much better choice for me.

That is the whole point of the clearing system.
But if initially you contact those that made you your offers they might be able to accommodate, it depends what happened to the other applicants.
Good luck.

you will have to contact ( or better still get your head) and discuss the situation with your choosen UNI- if they are low on the grounds of students that have reached the grade then there will be spaces- whereas if they have oversubscribed and most people get their grades they will offer your place to someone with the highest grade.

yes they will, most of them will lower their entry requirements to take you, while some may put you on an alternative course which will usually be similar to the one you originally applied for if there are spaces

Depends on if there are spaces available on the course you are trying to enrol in, and if you have a good interview.

Yeah, you should be fine. If the uni you applied for won't take you, you can always go through clearing.

it depends on how full/popular the course is but you will get something suitable through clearing, just don't panic

i think, it is depend on the university's policy. if u have some other qualification such as your extra-curricular, you might be accepted.
