Guys I have made an embarrassing error with my UCAS and could really use some advice :frown:

Much to my shock I received a confirmation of application email from Bath this morning after sending my UCAS 48 hours ago - the email told me I had applied for the Masters course with A*AA typical offer - and I meant to apply to the BSc with AAA typical offer. I am amazed it slipped through unnoticed, but now I am unsure on what to do, I tried substituting the course for the BSc on UCAS but it said you have to change the institution! what should I do?

thanks

Best idea would be to contact UCAS and tell them about the problem. I'm sure they will sort it out for you.

I finally got an offer from Exeter as well! I sent my application off on the 11th November, so over a month for me - quite relieved now! :smile:

Yeah same, sent mine on off on the 14th. I'm even more surprised I got the offer 2 days after they sent me an email saying it's unlikely I'll hear until after Jan 15th! :smile:

Congratulations. I have applied for Exeter too, sent off UCAS exactly 3 weeks ago, I guess I still gotta wait for a little bit more...and hopefully I'd get an offer :yep:

Applied for straight computer science at Bath, Bristol, Durham, Imperial and Cambridge (Interview on Friday!!!).

Offers from all but Cambridge but don't have conditions through for Imperial yet.

Good luck to everyone else applying for computer science this year :smile:

What college are you applying to? Did your interview go well? Also, is Bristol your 3rd choice?

I am also applying to Cambridge

I am applying to Churchill, I really have no idea how it went however! Great to see someone else has applied to Cambridge too, which college did you apply for?

Also yes, Bristol is my third choice behind Cambridge and Imperial :smile:

Hi all,
I got ACE in my A-levels (with the E in maths of all subjects) but I have offers from Aston and Huddersfield of BBB/300 UCAS point and have been invited to York interview and also Leeds Applicant day (hoping for ABB through Access Scheme). Just wondering, has anyone else been invited/already had the interview? If so, how'd it go?
I'm really hoping to get BBB but my AS Grades are definitely not the best (to say the least) but I'll do my best!

Just got invited for a visit day (including interview and aptitude test) by University of Birmingham. Anyone else?

Nottingham, Comp Sci and AI (ABB at advanced higher with computing)
Lancaster Computer Systems Engineering (BBBBB at higher)
Reading AI with YINI (BBB/ABC at Advanced Higher)
Loughborough Comp Sci and AI (AB at Advanced Higher, BBBBB at Higher)

Advanced Higher/Higher Predicted:
AH Maths - C (changed to an A, emailed about my situation)
AH Physics - C (Changed to an A)
AH French - C (A grade lower than last year! Changed to B)
H Computing - A

Highers (had some pretty rough extenuating circumstances)

Hope I get offers, although I'm expecting rejections (already got one from Glasgow but I changed to Lancaster). If not, it'll be a gap year for me.

Good luck everyone!

Pretty rubbish I thought. Got a few of the questions, ended up guessing a few. All in all: 1% chance of me getting an offer. (interviews were decidedly 'meh/bad'
