Just a few questions about the processes that follow receiving an unconditional offer for medicine, I'm a European applicant.
1. After having been given an unconditional offer, does the university have any possibilities to withdraw their offer, assuming nothing in the application/grades/requirements change? Just a general enquiry about what it means to receive an offer, i.e. whether it is "absolute" or subject to change.
2. After firming the unconditional, have I correctly understood it means I have firmed and accepted my place at the programme and university, and I can rest completely assured I cannot lose my place? Meaning come September I WILL be beginning my course and I can safely drop preparing applications for medicine in other countries?
3. Is there a way, and is it at all pertinent, to get a confirmation from the university that I have firmed my unconditional and do intend to attend the course? The point of this is as mentioned above, I want to know assuredly that I can rest my mind from trying to apply elsewhere and focus on preparing my coming relocation. Does one receive/sign a "contract" for matriculating into the course, and when does this happen? At the university come September?
4. Seeing as I have received an unconditional offer, on UCAS Track it says "This offer is subject to you obtaining" and then left BLANK. I presume this is ordinary given it's an unconditional?
5. On my UCAS Track application, it says "Criminal convictions declared: UNDECLARED". I have no criminal record/offenses/convictions/whatever, so I hazard this is also in order?
I appreciate someone elucidating these humble, basic questions from a non-UK applicant, thank you!
