Serious question:
About 4 months after I had submitted my UCAS application, I decided that I would not take certain exams in the summer. I contacted UCAS on Twitter to confirm if this was okay and I was told it was as long as it's not part of the offer (which they weren't). However, I came across this page on the UCAS website:
https://www.ucas.com/ucas/undergraduate/apply-and-track/track-your-application/making-changes.
This is worrying me now because I thought I had sorted it all out a while ago but apparently not. I was not told on Twitter that I had to contact the universities or to contact UCAS on the email address on the page. It says on the page that this can cause delays on results day which worries me.
The exams I decided not to take are:
STEP I
STEP II
STEP III
6PH01 resit
6PH02 resit
When I added physics to my UCAS form, I put it as pending and listed the resits under it and not what I got at AS. Would this be a problem?
At the time I wasn't sure which STEP paper I was going to take so I was told to put down all of them. Of course, later on I decided that I didn't have the time to do any of them. I also decided against doing the resits because I could still get an A or an A* without resits so I thought it would be best to concentrate on my A2 modules which could improve my grade more than the resits. I did mention STEP on my personal statement as well, however, I still attended the STEP sessions even after deciding not to do STEP as I really did enjoy them.
Should I contact my two universities now about these changes or is it too late? Both universities don't require STEP or the physics resits as part of their offer. Warwick gives a choice of conditions and two of them don't require STEP. I submitted my application early because I had to for Cambridge so I was a bit rushed to finish it and I was still unsure as to whether I would actually take these exams or not.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
