    So what are my options now?
    I've got a bit of a dilemma.

    I applied for all the courses I wanted and heard back from all of them, and only got into 1 course. I was off-course completely bummed out. I waited a few weeks to see if anything changed, but nothing did so I decided to accept the offer from the uni I didn't particularly want to go to, but alas I really have no other option.

    The course I accepted is a conditional on whether I achieve my HND this year.

    Today I logged into my emails to see I have a email from the university I was most wanting to go to, saying they have decided to re-consider applicants without the grade that I originally needed - as long as I get a HND - and I should contact them saying if I am still interested

    I REALLY want to go to this university a lot more, but having already accepted the other university offer, what can I do? Is there anyway I can cancel my offer or am I stuck?

    Sorry for the double post, but I had a look around on the UCAS site and it said you can change university under "exceptional circumstances".

    I'm hopeful that my situation will be considered one of these, as how was I to know that the university would email me over a month after my rejection from them stating they have re-considered my offer?

    Contact both unis, contact ucas, contact everyone, beg. It may get you somewhere, it's not unheard of. Good luck.
