Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Is the competition still a factor even when you meet the terms of your Conditional?

That is, if I get the marks they ask for in my conditional offer, could I still be knocked out by people who've got better grades?

No, if you meet your offer then you have a place. :smile:

no, an offer through UCAS is legally binding, they can not refuse you the place. Unless they close down the course itself.

And if they do close the course down, they have to consider offering you its successor course, or a similar existing course.

Oh, thank the gods. It looks hard enough to scrape up what they ask for, let along beat it.

Nope, once you've accepted and got your grade requirements from your firm, then as soon as you've got them, you're in.

No. Say someone has an offer of BBB; if they just get the UMS marks to get BBB, they are guaranteed a place along with the offer holder who got A*A*A*.

If too many people meet their offers the uni might ask if applicants want to transfer to another course or take a gap year, but this is optional and you don't have to agree to it.
