How many of you guys got an unconditional offer? I got a conditional one and am afraid that i won't meet these requirements - will they reject me even when the difference will be very little?

I've got an offer of A B B for Biochemistry :biggrin:
I got an unconditional for ancient history which I have accepted. The only way you will know whether they will accept you will be when you have the results. If you have just missed they may still accept but who knows what you might do. Just keep going. Good Luck!

I got one for history and English lit, but for conditional offers, I've heard that even if they ask for AAB and you get ABB, they may still let you in, but I suppose it depends on how many people got the grades they needed in summer, if not many did, then they'll probably accept more people with slightly lower grades, etc :smile:

I applied for the MA in Translation Studies (distance learning) and I got a conditional offer, which was actually just about posting the official documents :smile:

When do you start applying for accommodation? Do you have till firming on UCAS and if so where do you get the details from? So behind with all this, also how do you sort out finances? Sorry for sounding clueless it's just our school hasn't really kept us updated so little confused! Anyone with any advice please message me :smile: thanks!

Hey!
I've got a conditional offer of AAB for BA geography with a year of international study. This is my dream university and dream course! The only thing is I don't think I'm going to meet the conditions, I'm studying geography psychology and English, and am more likely to get ABB.
I've got a conditional offer from Manchester for AB and a pass at welsh baccalaureate, which is much more achievable!
However I really don't want to decline UOB! I'm not sure what to do, as Manchester are flexible and quoted in the offer letter that they'll do their best to find you a place even if you don't meet the conditions!
Does anyone know where UOB stand if you don't meet the conditions? Are they flexible with trying to place you on a similar course etc?
I don't want to decline Birmingham, but there's also no point putting it as my insurance if I get into Manchester! But also don't want to put Manchester as insurance as if unforeseeable circumstances arise and I don't meet the conditions when they see it's my insurance they may not try and place me on a course!
If anyone has any idea about the flexibility UOB have on results day i'd really appreciate it!

I don't know how flexible they are, but if it really is your dream uni, firm Birmingham! I've been left in the position where I want to go there so much that I would hate to go to my insurance uni, but if I don't meet my offer grades, I'll just reapply next year. If you want it that much, then it's worth doing :smile: and in my opinion, uni costs too much these days for you to be going somewhere you don't want to go!
