UCAS drama.

I'm sorry to hear that your situation still hasn't been resolved.

Like the other poster has said, you need to call the university again and ask that they call UCAS and stress how important it is. Be firm but ensure you're polite.

Ask if they could do it straight after you've called as its urgent and would only require a brief one minute talk with UCAS to sort things out.

If they still don't do it then in my opinion you're entitled to complain. I'd call them and ask for someone higher up in the department to talk to.

Considering that it would only take the university a one minute phone call to UCAS it seems you're being treated quite unfairly.

Best of luck!

I sent UCAS the emails that BPP had been sending me, and UCAS finally re-instated my application. I then called BPP and spoke to someone different than the guy who has been dealing with me, as he is away until next week. The lady on the phone said I didn't even have an offer (WTF!) but that she's put me as 'declined'.

I'm a little worried that it's going to completely withdraw my whole application again, but I guess I'll find out within the next 24 hours!

I'm glad things have finally been sorted for you, I know how stressful situations like that can be.

I told you admissions departments can be a bit messy (although I'm not surprised if they have to read through masses of applications, personal statements, check grades etc.).

If she's change it to 'declined' then everything should be sorted for you now. Being declined should put you into Extra if what I was told is true.

If your UCAS hasn't updated already it probably will by the end of the day. Apparently the 'Extra' option will then appear.

At least you know you'll get that unconditional offer to study full-time.

Jheez this is seriously annoying! So, contacted BPP telling them I want them to release me... they withdraw me AGAIN.

I'm having to wait, again, for UCAS to re-instate it, so I can go through clearing as apparently I'm definitely not eligible for Extra. -_-

Its been super stressful.

I'm praying that its all sorted now and I can go through extra!

Yeah !! Go to extra and find some places that are more prestigious than this (BPP is rather low-ranked).

No use I'm afraid. BPP are telling me they can only Withdraw me.

I have found a way around all this though finally. I have applied for the Diploma in Law at Birkbeck, which is a one year full time course that doesn't require me to go through UCAS. I am able to be automatically enrolled on to year two of the degree after completing this one.

Strange.

I'm pretty sure they'll telling you the wrong thing. Salford originally withdrew my application but after I phoned them to tell them they'd told UCAS the wrong thing they sorted it out with UCAS, it only took about 5 minutes.

Saying that, it seems like you have a solution.

It's just so stupidly confusing. I got the UCAS re-instated, then called BPP yesterday and the lady said she'd done something and that it'd be updates within 24 hours... nothing happened.

So I called today and spoke to someone else, who then just withdrew the whole thing again. I was like "Noooooooo!". UCAS have said it doesn't seem BPP have any idea what the hell they are doing. UCAS have just this second re-instated it AGAIN.

I'm just going to go through Clearing in July the day it opens for the degree!

The diploma idea was a good idea, until I realised my funding is limited so wouldn't get any for a one year course. WHY is university so difficult haha.

I still don't understand why I'm not eligible to go through Extra. You clearly have so why can't I. I'm obviously not special enough (sob) lol. But yeah thanks for all your help anyway, I super appreciate it all!
