What does it mean when a University withdraws my application on my behalf? can i add another choice?

Why have I been given a negative rating for this???

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!

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.
