Yes, I'm fairly sure you can do this. Sometime people get better grades than they expect and "upgrade". Why do you suddenly not like your firm offer?

If you don't want to go to your firm university then it's much better to try to arrange now to change your choices. Waiting until results day is very risky - you're bottom of the priority list for your firm, other universities are forbidden from talking to you by UCAS (some will anyway but even if they will talk to you then by the time you get put into clearing officially there may well be no places left)....and for any university your chances of getting accommodation are a LOT slimmer.

If you exceed your firm then adjustment is an option but it isn't a GOOD option. You get 5 days (calendar days) from results to use adjustment so it is rushed, most universities don't understand how it works, there's a high risk again of ending up without accommodation.

Which university/course are you hoping to switch to (and what is your current firm)? Have you already applied to the university/course you're hoping to go to or is it a new choice?

Universities can (and i believe are supposed to) refuse to speak to you with no clearing number, but if you exceed your firm offer you'll have the risk free option of using adjustment anyway. If you're sure you dont want to go there now, better to get things sorted now than wait to results day.

what can i do ?

I applied to Brunel for psychology. And want to switch to City and do either psychology or sociology and criminology. But it seems kind of impossible. Don't want to risk getting released and then not getting into any uni.

Was City one of your original choices?

Have you spoken to them (as in - ring them up, today and explain that you haven't applied to them but are interested in a place and want to know if you have a chance of an offer).
