I declared a U in my UCAS

Will this have an effect on my university application? I'm guessing it will. I applied for computer science and it is an AS level in psychology.

I asked to be removed from all exams at the beginning and they didn't. I have 0 interest for the subject. It was a complete mistake lol :colondollar:

It did say I had to declare all my grades including Us or my application would be cancelled.

Thanks for the reassurance as I can't even sleep because I'm so worried about it. Can I ask which universities you applied to?
You should be fine, but for UCL, don't you need a pass in your 4th AS?

Yup!
I've applied to Bournemouth, Sussex, Glamorgan, Winchester and Lincoln.

Got offers from Sussex and Lincoln and interviews from Winchester and Glamorgan!

If I can get offers and I failed two of my AS' i'm sure you can with one :smile: And I dont think they'd pay too much attention to them, it just means that if they do it on points you might need higher grades for it. And you have a legit reason while you failed, mine is just that I was awful at the subject! D:

Good for U! :smile:
Anything that's a U I didn't declare. I completely failed my first year of AS then changed subjects. I never mentioned it to UCAS, they seemed okay with it.
