Nope.

They've received it, it takes around 2 days to process, and would be longer now anyway as it's probably when the bulk of applications have been received.
Posted this on another thread, but got no response, so here it is again :smile:

I've already submitted my UCAS form, but after talking to others, I'm a little bit worried about my history unit grades as I got a C in one of my modules (A overall) and despite dropping it, I have been told that universities are looking for weak points in your application and that the C may jeopardize any offers. Does anyone here know if that is particularly true?

If you haven't included your modular grades, they have no way of finding out.

hope all goes well for you!

ahh don't dwell on that too much. I'm not certain on how admission tutors gather all of their information, but it's pretty likely that they'd find out anyway. As long as your modules average out to around a B or an A AND you've been predicted to achieve an A for that subject, I'm sure it won't be a problem :smile:
