I applied early September for Ancient History and received an unconditional offer about a week later. I have since firmed the offer (early, I know) over a week ago now. The offer is still showing conditional on track and I haven't heard anything back from Birmingham since I've firmed it. I was assuming that it would be updated to unconditional once I put it as my firm but I'm beginning to get a bit worried. I have heard it can take up to a month for track to update in these circumstances but I am panicking a bit - is it worth emailing Birmingham/UCAS or should I just wait?

Hi I'm thinking of applying to do Ancient History at Birmingham and do you mind telling me what were your predicted grades? Thank you :smile:

I'm predicted AAB (and I think A in general studies, not sure) after getting ABB(C) at AS :smile:

Don't panic. My brother accepted an unconditional from Birmingham for Ancient History last year and I think it took a while for track to change and even longer to hear back from Birmingham. He is having a fantastic time and loves the course.
