Probably because you're asking in the wrong thread. This one is supposed to be for decisions only.
It'd be best if you just asked the university - ring them up or write them an email. Sounds a bit weird that they withdraw it on your behalf!

Decision [Offer/Rejection]: Conditional

Application sent: 30/10/11
Uni: Stirling
Course: BA English with Journalism
Decision [Offer/Rejection]: Conditional
Offer Grades: BBBB (Highers including English)
Date Offer Received: 01/03/12
Reaction: Wow! Another offer! :smile: (I was still nervous for my Napier interview though)

Application sent: 30/10/11
Uni: Napier
Course: BA Journalism
Decision [Offer/Rejection]: Conditional
Offer Grades: BBBB (Highers including English)
Date Offer Received: 20/03/12 (Though I was told at the interview on the 8th)
Reaction: At the interview I just looked at the interviewer in astonishment. I then burst out laughing at the train station on the way home. When I got home I began to worry that maybe she meant "if" I got an offer and not that I definitely got one, so when it came through on UCAS it was mostly joy-filled relief.

I firmed Napier because their course is accredited and has contracts with the BBC and STV. There wasn't much point in taking an insurance since the other ones had the same/higher entry requirements.

Offer Grades: DDD at Extended Diploma and Grade C at GCSE maths retake
Date Offer Received: 28th February
Reaction: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. I honestly hugged strangers who were luckily lovely and jumped with me. I then cried in the toilet as I was doing Maths revision at college.

I left school at 14, have no science GCSEs and failed Maths but am retaking and on track for A*.. so to have got to this point is amazing, and it feels so much better because I have worked so hard to get here. I now feel like I can take over the world and this is by far the best day of my life and the greatest news ever. I am ecstatic and unbelievably grateful! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
