Got into my firm, different course. Wtf.

So I got into my firm uni which is the university of southampton.

I thought it was all good but then realised it was for civil engineering and NOT aeronautics/astronautics.

Oh yeah, my insurance choice was harder grades to get at a better uni (UCL) and now I feel completely destroyed.

"The uni has offered you a place with significant changes"

It says in the letter that its subject to AA in maths and physics and B in geography, and I could have sworn it was the same for aeronautics..

Please help! What do I do? Should I go to school to get my grades? I ticked that I wanted them sent to my house, do i have to go get them myself now? Thanks.

@She-Ra

Are you interested in the course?

If not, then it's probably best to start thinking about clearing options. In this situation it would be good to have your grades ASAP, so going into school might be the best option. Your teachers will also be able to support you.

I'm sorry you're in this situation- once you have your grades it'll be easier to know what options are open, so do please feel free to quote/PM me once you have your grades!

So I got my results:
Maths: A
Geography: B
Physics: C
Further maths AS: B

I was 2 marks off of an A in further maths and narrowly missed a B in physics.

They said that my grades weren't good enough + oversubscribed so they put me into civil.

I checked Southampton's clearing page and they have clearing for both aero and mechanical. Aero A*AA jesus christ and mechanical ABB. So I think aero, for the time being is on hold. I just need to find a way into mechanical right now. I called the clearing line for southampton and they took down the details and I emphasized that I was close to the B in physics.

They said it "should be good" and they'll get back to me by tonight. My dad said either way civil engineering is pretty good too so go there and tell them face to face if you can switch to the other course but if not possible, stay in civil.

Anyways a lot is going through my mind right now, including if I can send my geography/physics for a remark. What is the process, what does it cost and do you think it's worth it?

I really don't get what's going on with southampton. Like I've said in my last post, the clearing person said I probably meet the offer for mechanical. A few hours later I get an email saying I'm not successful. I'm probably going to go to my exams officer tomorrow and asking her exactly by how much I missed each grade boundary and ask her if getting it remarked is a possibility.

I've heard stories of people who pester admin at uni and after like 2 weeks they get put into the course they wanted. Due to civil being somewhat similar to mechanical do you think there's a chance of getting it swapped at some point?

Whatttt how can they do that?!

Could you tell us what the email said exactly?

Never rely on being annoying to administrators and change courses. If you accept a course I'd recommend doing so with the intention of studying it.

It's reasonable if the course is similar enough. Common changes are to the same course but with a foundation year for students who might struggle with a first year entry. UCAS would like to know of any dodgy universities trying to switch people to completely different courses as that isn't really very good practice.

Don't really want to be doing a foundation year... arghhhh I'm so angry rn if I got a B instead of C in physics they would have let me do mechanical through clearing... sad.

It was just a generic email saying they cant let me do mechanical through clearing.

Guys when I applied through clearing it said mechanical engineering required grades were ABB and now its changed to AAA. When I applied I told them I was really close to getting the B in physics and I might send physics for a remark but they declined it. Now what should I do?
