Have you checked whether you would be eligible for a lower offer from Leeds?

I wouldn’t if I were you. It sounds like you’ve received all five decisions as offers. Which unis did you apply to? There is no guarantee that Leeds will be in Extra this year, and no guarantee they will accept you. A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush, after all :smile:

UCAS Extra is for those who have no offers. You have five offers, by the sound it it. Is that correct?

From where have you received offers so far? Why is Leeds more appealing that the offers you already have?

See more details of UCAS Extra here.

Yes I do but I regret not choosing Leeds as one of them because the course modules look good and student life there seems appealing to me. The only offer I would consider going to is Reading, but i really like the idea of Leeds

You can only use extra if you have no offers so you would need to decline all you have. There is also the question whether Leeds will be in extra which I doubt. Think things out before you decide,

Yes I've been thinking about it for a while. I sent an email to Leeds asking if they're doing UCAS extra

As stated above, to pursue Leeds as an option, you'd need to establish that they're offering your course via Extra, decline all your existing offers, use Extra to apply to Leeds and then hope they make you an offer.

Are you feeling lucky?

I'm awaiting on their email at the moment seeing if I'm suitable for the course and if they offer it at UCAS extra. I'm not sure about my luck, but if they do reject me, would i be able to apply for reading again?
