Question about university applications

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knows whether universities can see the other universities we apply to and the other courses we apply for? Do they always see this information, or never, or can find it out sometimes but not always? Thanks in advance! :smile:

They can’t see your other choices, (uni’s or courses), during the initial application process. It’s only available to them after you receive all your decisions and make your Firm and Insurance choices.

Thank you! So when some universities say you have to be committed to your subject and pick the same course for all 5 unis, how does that work? How do they check if they can’t see your courses? :smile:

they can’t check it, that mainly just applies to your personal statement. if you applied to (for example) psychology at 2 uni’s, politics in 1 and chemistry in another 2 then your personal statement would be a bit crazy as you’d have to appeal to all those courses and that would be evident to whoever is going through your application.

Okay, thank you so much! :biggrin:
