I am applying for a foundation course in medicine and wanted to know if i could persuade my teacher (which i think i can:P) to change my predicted grade from a C to a B? I have got my confirmation letter from ucas saying they have received my UCAS but the deadline is not until Friday- so will my college change this before then?
you have 14 days from receipt of ucas confirmation to change your choices.
your PS and predicted grades are set in stone.
Can you change you choices after the deadline but within 2 weeks. So if I applied today could I change a medicine choice on the 16th or would I be considered a late applicant by my new choice?
As far as I am aware once the app is sent only minor details can be changed. It's not like your grades are magically going to change so they wouldn't allow you to change grades. In re: to predicted grades, they expect referees to be 100% sure before they write down the grade. They aren't supposed to be iffy and change them later on. That's not really fair.
This is why it would be highly unlikely that they would allow a change in grades.
I understand... i just dont want to believe it!: But surely if you can change parts of the form it could include predicted grades too?
Here is the logic behind not letting you change grades:
It's not like your grades are magically going to change in a few days so they wouldn't allow you to change grades. In regards to predicted grades, they expect referees to be 100% sure before they write down the grade. They aren't supposed to be iffy and change them later on. That's not really fair.
This is why it would be highly unlikely that they would allow a change in grades.

I would defiantly talk to a teacher when you get to school/collage tomorrow they will surely be able to help. Also when I did my PS last year, my school said something about them receiving the PS and then sending it off.
I am not sure but maybe your school has not sent it off. Even though you have hit the send button.
Just ask the admin staff at school and good luck!!

No, because you don't put your reference on. If it could be changed, it would have to be the referee who did it. You can't even get to see your reference through your Track unless you pay a fee (£10, I think) to do so. Your best hope would be to ask your referee to email each of the universities individually. They could try phoning UCAS, but don't count on it happening. Whatever happens, it has to be from them, because I'm quite sure you can see why the applicant calling up to say their grade has improved wouldn't be met with much credibility.

OP has already had the confirmation back from UCAS. It's already gone.
