Edinburgh declined me after meeting conditional...

Ring them. RING THEM. If you've actually met the conditions then I'm confused as to why your application is unsuccessful. It could either be a mistake, in which case ring them to ask what has happened, or there is a part of your offer which you have not fully met, in which case ring them to find out what it is. In short, contact them asap.

I would also recommend you have a look through clearing and organise some numbers to call for other unis in case it isn't just an admin problem, if you are wanting to be at uni come september.

I'll contact them tomorrow, offices closed atm. I've got my insurance choice at Heriot Watt which I'll go to if worst comes to worst, however that somehow became my firm choice. If Edinburgh do accept me, what would I do about Heriot Watt who now thinks I'm going to them as they've become my firm automatically on UCAS track?

Email them both to be safe...and ring them both as soon as you can. It should all be cleared up I think.

Alright thanks for the help guys much appreciated Whats the best way to get released from Heriot Watt if Edinburgh reverses their decision and accepts me after admin error? Do I phone UCAS or are they out of the equation for this situation?

UCAS have to unwind this in conjunction with Edinburgh. If it is a mistake HW should simply be informed. Their consent will not be needed.

Don't worry about HW.

Ring ed tomorrow at 8am (and take names/job titles).

If ed aren't helpful then contact UCAS - if Ucas can see you've met your offer conditions they can override ediburghs rejection.

Is it possible to be declined from a university despite fully meeting the conditional offer? (other than errors, but done on purpose)

I ask because I am wondering what happens if more conditional offer holders (who firm/insure a particular university) meet their conditional offer than expected. (i.e. above the number of places available) What happens then?

You can only be rejected from a conditional offer if you:

A) don't meet the offer conditions or
B) don't disclose something you should have/ lie on your application

If a uni had more people meeting their offer than expected they have to take them. Some unis manage that by asking people to defer (in exchange for discount on fee/halls), others just rearange the timetable and cope.

Don't worry about HW.

Okay thank you. So should I just ignore HW completely after contacting Edinburgh?

Out of interest, what exactly did the condition say about student fees? Is it possible there could have been a mistake about your fee status or something?
