What does the email actually say?

Have you been in contact with Bath during the cycle to ask about changing your course/withdrawing from them etc?

Call them and if they aren't helpful call UCAS.

Don't suggest something so silly. That's what a logical human would do.
I would think "are they going to be there in the holidays?" (answer being probably based on getting an email.

I would pick up the phone and establish:

(i) Is it them saying no to me?
or
(ii) Is it them saying because I haven't been in touch they don't think I am interested?

Whilst doing this I would have all info to hand including any emails, letters I had from them, names and references. Along with these any info I felt important.

But instead people log onto a forum and ask people who don't (99.9999999%) have any idea about any specific application

I haven´t been in contact with them at all. Standard application far before the deadlines.

The email read :

not one to state possibly the obvious to the OP but Bath is your insurance choice .. any chance you may have met the criteria for your firm choice hence Bath cancelling out your insurance choice perhaps???

Even if that were the case Bath should not be in contact about application statuses with anyone who is due to receive results on Thursday.

Part of the deal of getting early sight of A level results is that universities don't disclose those results or any decisions from them to applicants before the applicants have collected their results from their School/College.

Sigh. I just called them and they said it was a technical mistake by the computer team and means nothing at all. I don´t believe them though. I think for some reason, be it because i got into bristol or because I missed both offers i´ve not got a place at Bath. I guess there is only one way to find out though, play the waiting game!

Yeah I agree like. My first reaction to that would have been excitement at the prospect of getting into my firm! Either than or you have missed both your Firm AND Insurance! Be open-minded, and all the best love. :p:

Bath is my insurance and Bristol is my first choice but the grades are the same AAB. Could this email mean i have the grades to get into Bristol and so Bath is ending my account or could it mean i havent got the grades for either. any help would be great.

I got that the other day too. I was unsuccessful.

Phone them!

ring them up and ask

Daaamm that is harsh if they already know you havent got grades :/
But ye ring them.

And next time.. reealise that an insurance choice is generally there to have lower grades just in case xD

Haha, well..I'd guess a
1)Technichal fault
2)You got AAB or better and got into your firm
3)You got lower than AAB and are in clearing

If it is 2 or 3 thats very harsh on the uni's behalf as you dont know what your grades are yet.

EDIT: I'm glad it was a technichal fault. Good luck on Thursday :smile:
