My conditional offer changed to unconditional

So basically I currently have 3 offers from university and all 3 were conditional offers. I got an email saying my track had updated so naturally I check my track and it still says I have decisions from 3 out of 5 unis so at this point I’m like ?? Okay so I check the latest updates and it says ***** has offered you an unconditional place so I’m a bit confused because my offer was conditional but now it’s unconditional? I feel like it must be like a glitch or something because my predicted grades are the same as the entry requirements so I’m confused..... it’s not even a conditional unconditional like it literally says unconditional now? Help😂😂

It's not that unusual..... which uni is it because several of them do this for strong applicants?
If I'm honest I would check with them to make sure this is correct. Call first, then try to get something via email just in case.

But congrats :smile:

Ha! I agree there’s almost no chance it was in error.

I always recommend to double check if no other communications have been received though. My niece had her offer made unconditional in error and it didn’t get spotted until enrolment so I like to err on the side of caution :smile:

they might have re-read the conditional offer applicants and from the personal statement selected the ones they want as unconditional as many people might not have applied yet for that uni and course.
Perhaps the conditions changed? Like, unconditional choice if made Firm otherwise XXX grades for your conditional offer? Do check.

I do know that it’s not a popular course at all and only three unis in the country do it so that’s what I thought at first. It’s TESOL and Chinese

What Uni & what course?

Often Some less regarded unis pump up their entry requirements to get students in. Hence looking at their official requirement or offer is meaningless. For example if they say AAB but take CCC on results day, I could well see them offering a student whos predicted AAB an unconditional in an attempt to get them to come.

Without more information its very hard to say, but lots of unis do this to gain students out of their league.
