Hi - scratching my head here. I'm a mature student applying to a course and I received a conditional offer on Friday.The condition is on obtaining a distinction in a course that I completed in 2011 (and got an overall pass on, so currently not meeting this requirement) I accepted the offer and did some digging on this site, I was hopeful reading some historic posts that usually these are changed to unconditional.However I rang the admissions office today - and I was told that this would mean that I am on a 'waitlist' and that they may drop the grades in August - however going by this I still wouldn't make the cut. I guess I'm in a bind here because this course would involve quitting full time employment, and moving to Northern Ireland from ROI. I was under the impression from previous posts here, that they can't offer a place (even conditional) if they don't necessarily have one?
