University insurance choice help

Thanks for the reply. I understand now but wouldn't it be even easier to just reject it now on track if I'm sure I won't be going there?

I dont think you can reject it on track unless the university has not made a decision to accept or reject you. The only option track stated was to contact the uni to reject you.

Oh, I see. So do you have to ring up on results day to ask them to withdraw the offer, or could I for example ring them up tomorrow and ask them to?

Yes, you need to do it before otherwise on results day you would officially be on the course so it would be a lot of hassle to get them to reject you and they might even refuse. It is best to do it as soon as possible, just give them a ring and ask politely for them to reject your offer.

You do automatically take a place at your insurance uni and if they accept you can make you wait (2-3 days at least) before they release you.

If you definitely don't want to go you need to ring them up ASAP before results and ask to be released.

2-3 days?! Wow! I'm glad you replied, thanks. I'll certainly be getting on the phone ASAP then because clearing places will have gone by then surely?

a lot of courses are already in clearing. As IB grades have been out for awhile as have Btec grades.

My course is already filled up from clearing before as results

It's worth remembering tgat it could renter clearing and all its done is filled space from failed IB people.

Yeah that's the point, after results they are dealing with clearing themselves as well as a lot of other admin so students who suddenly don't want to go are bottom of the todo list.

It will enter clearing again after A-level results day but obviously their will be less spaces. And don't forget btec clearing students and adjustment students

In order for the track to be updated before results day you will have to ring all the universities not just your insurance meaning you will have to ask your non insurance choice as well.

And the ones you rejected

Adjustment and clearing are (for all intents and purposes) the same. And there is no will or will not. They could end up oversubscribed for example...

I don't understand. Why would I need to contact all my universities about rejecting my insurance? What relevance are they to the offer?

Who told you that? To be perfectly honest that is a load of poppycock. If he simply wants to be released all he needs is to ask the insurance and his rejected ones have no input on that.

So only reject it early if you defeat let don't want to go to your 1st choice as you cannot early reject one without rejecting the other.

Also you may still get in if you miss the grade as their clearing requirements will be lower so if you meet them they may accept you anyway

Hold on...you can only withdraw your application for your insurance if you also do for firm? Are you sure? I'm so confused ffs.

First bit is patently untrue.

And second if the definition of insurance, which they don't want to go to so should reject if they are sure

At best he doesn't know what he's talking about at worse he's deliberately misleading you, don't listen. You can definitely reject your insurance now without rejecting your firm.

I tried to I rang UCAS and in order for track to be updated (which is what has to happen) All universities have to "unconfirm" their decisions so it can be changed this does not stop you from re accepting it as your 1st choice.

Call UCAS, if you don't believe me.

Also check if your course is already in clearing as if it is their is a very good chance that you will meet their clearing conditions if you get near the desired grades.
