If i was rejected by my top choice university for too low predicted grades and my school was to email them saying I'm currently achieving well above my predicted grades can they change their mind about my rejection or will i have to wait till results day and go through adjustment assuming i meet their requirements? Has an offer change ever happened after being rejected on ucas?

When unis choose they consider many things such your PS, Reference, GCSE's, Alevels. Just the college emailing the uni to say you're doing better than your prediction. That won't make difference. And once they consider your application and they already rejected you then there is no way of that being reversed. So if they already did reject you because of your predictions then try through adjustment.

Unis will not accept revised predicted grades - its up to your teachers to get it right the first time. So no, Unis wont reconsider you if they have rejected you for this reason.
IF you get better grades than for your FIrm (ie. nir just equal to but better) then you can phone another Uni and see IF the course you are interested in has places (it may not have) and if they will reconsider you. Do not just assume that that reason they rejected you first time round was just your grades - if they didnt like your PS then, they still wont like at it Adjustment and you'll simply get rejected all over again.
Adjustment is actually not a great solution for anyone. Its all last minute and panicky, you probably wont get accommodation and most applicants wont get a chance to visit the new Uni. Also, its the course you study that is important - not the grades to get in. Just because somewhere is asking AAA doesn't make it a 'better' course/Uni (whatever that means) and it certainly doesn't make it a better course/Uni for you.
A much better solution is either to go to your FIrm Uni anyway - the one you wanted/dreamt about going to. Or, dropping your entire 2016 application and reapplying in October for 2017 with known grades - lots of time to rethink, visit new Unis and make a better thought-out decision. Recommended.

They can reconsider, but I don't know if they would in OP's scenario.

It's not impossible but it is hard.

This isn't true. The admissions lady at our school sent off the wrong predicted grades for my friend. He got BBB and was meant to be predicted AAB but she sent off CCC. She only realised about 2 weeks later. Then she had to phone up every Uni individually to tell them that it was her mistake and his predicted grades were wrong. One of the Uni's (I think it was Loughborough? Can't remember) revised their decision and made him an offer. The rest hadn't made a decision yet but took it into consideration and made him an offer at a later date.
They can reconsider, but I don't know if they would in OP's scenario.

But if possible, try and make your school phone instead of email.

Loughborough also rejected me to previous grades & predicted grades. Yet all my other unis gave me offers and they had the same/higher entrance grades than Loughborough. If its that much of a big deal then email them it might work. If not prepare for the joys of Adjustment
