Clearing & Irish Qualifications

Hello everyone, sorry if this post seems obvious to some but I've been having a confusing time with UCAS. So I applied for Law at Bournemouth University thi morning. When you convert my Irish Leaving Certificate grades over to Ucas Tariff points they only add up to 82 points. (I don't know if this is a good or bad score) but the guy on the phone said that this was enough for the place even though the prospectus says you need 112-120

He has offered me the place which I added on UCAS track immediately waiting for them to confirm. I'm worried (I know this is stupid) that basically there is some kind of mistake and they will change their mind once I try to enrol & show my results? Is is unusual or usual to accept 30points under what they are asking. If it helps, I'm a mature student (25) and have other qualifications. This is all very confusing. Thanks to anyone who can advise.

Also my student finance account says its for the year 2017/2018, is that right lol how is that possible?

Hi thank you, they still haven’t confirmed my clearing choice. I’m sure it’s ok though. Thanks for responding. Yes my student finance was wrong, I called them

Surely if they had a reason for not confirming it they would have contacted me though? Not very nice keeping me in suspense all weekend. I will definitely call them on Monday. Can they take back an offer once giving it?

They are unlikely to be working at the weekend, and a verbal agreement from a callhandler is not the same as a formal acceptance.

It's probably all fine, but give them a chase on Tuesday if necessary.

Yes that’s very true, I do have an email with the university offering me the place though. Sorry I’m one of those over thinking type people that worries about everything 😂 I even attended the open day but nobody could give me any info as to why the offer wasn’t confirmed on Track. I will known first thing on Monday. Thanks for your input. Just to ask your opinion, (I won’t be offended) is 82 UCAS tariff points considered very low?
