    Hello, only recently decided I may throw in my hat into ucas, my career guidance woman in school is impossible to get a hold of. I've set up a ucas account and i've sorted a reference from a past teacher. Choosen a few courses i'd like to do from various colleges.
    What do I do next? Any help would be great!

    You need to write a personal statement. It's essentially an essay about yourself. What you're like, what you're interested in and why you should be chosen for the courses. You can search lots of examples online.
