unless you declined the grade you need to declare it on UCAS

And you can't decline grades any more, so that gives you the answer, doesn't it? You have to declare it.

You run the risk of being chucked out of the UCAS system for this year, or of losing any offers you receive. You make a declaration when you apply that the information you supply is both accurate and complete.

if u don't put it on ucas the unis will still be able to see ur grades regardless... as once u send off ur ucas, unis get ur grades and modules grades, including UMS all sent to them by exam board

it does look bad

The only thing that looks bad is your indecision over such a non-brainer. The downside of not declaring is so potentially disastrous (for a very tiny, probably zero, benefit) that it shouldn't stretch even your powers of decision too much, surely?

The other thing that looks bad, I suppose, is your trustworthiness and honesty.

How is it undecided? If you want to apply, you have to write it down. Perhaps you could get the reason mentioned in your reference?

You keep starting threads to ask this question. Please stop - you've had perfectly sensible advice previously, and whether you like it or not, the most sensible thing to do is declare it.

In any event, your school has a duty to UCAS check your application for such things, and should notice if you miss anything off like that.
