I received an offer on Tuesday from York for 3 A's. I received an email today (from York) saying that if I put York as my firm they'll change the offer to unconditional.
However, in the UCAS track it does not mention the unconditional if firm thing.
Can someone please help?

If you put it as your firm, York will change UCAS to unconditional - it wouldn’t be automatic, so UCAS won’t know anything about it, hence it’s not mentioned on Track. UCAS doesn’t support a conditional offer becoming unconditional only if firmed with its system, so York will update it to unconditional themselves if you do place them as your firm.

However, do give it some intense thought as to why York is giving you an unconditional, and really think if it's the right choice for you.

What do you mean by "give thought as to why York is giving me an unconditional" please? Not trying to sound rude - genuinely interested

You are a money sack to universities. They get that sweet 9250 loan money + govt subsidies per student.

Cheers guys all very helpful stuff! Oxford is the dream for me so waiting to hear back from them (following from today's TSA test and other factors etc) whether I get an interview. I am also planning to visit York to try discover as much as possible.

I have a more optimistic view. Yes, York get certainty on a good student taking a place, and the student gets certainty over their future and can plan accordingly. There is only a problem if you accept an uncond at a uni you really don’t want to go. (You still need to do well at A level cos employers will use those grades in their selection process). Yes it limits using adjustment if you smash your grades, but York is a good uni and I doubt the PPE courses at higher tariff unis will have space come August.
