Yep, Travers lets you reapply in the same cycle after rejection unless you made it to interview, in which case they dont let you reapply at all again.
Hi @Jessica Booker, I'm (almost) through with my first term of my 1st year at university and am currently applying for open days. Some of the applications ask for a university predicted grade... how should I go about answering this considering we've never sat exams at uni level?

They are assessing your writing style here rather than the topic, so do not feel compelled to write about a legal/commercial topic. The most important thing is to write clearly and succinctly while conveying your passion effectively - and be genuine!! In my second year of university, my application wasn't successful. I wrote about cybersecurity which was not a topic that truly captivated me and I thought that would “impress” them🤣also I had no idea how to write applications.
This year, I successfully got to the AC by writing on a topic I'm passionate about. I wrote about Hayao Miyazaki's animated films, particularly "Spirited Away," and Japanese animations. So to demonstrate that you can really write about anything as long as you’re passionate about it!

Have you received any grades for mock papers or anything similar so far? If so, use them as a reference point.
If not, then I wouldn’t worry about it too much and just either say you don’t have any predicted grades or ask your personal tutor (although I’d expect them to say just put down a 2.1).
It’s very common for first years to not have any grades or predicted grades which is why your A-levels (or equivalent) will be looked at more closely alongside the rest of your application.
Yes it is however there can be a short delay of a day or two before you get the report
