Do you have a place at Nottingham following results day? Do UEA still have space on the course if you decide to decline your place at Notts?

If your Firm choice has been confirmed, you cannot now switch back to your Insurance.

It was different for me, I decided to resit my maths gcse, so I was waiting for my result which I recieved on the 24th, so my UCAS HUB still says waiting for results, and nottingham takes several days to process the document i sent them of my results, so ucas hasnt updated, making me unable to accept or reject the offer. Since this is the case, I contacted UEA and they said I still have my offer, which is also unconditional in place. For Notts I also met all the grades required on my conditional offer, so im certain ill get in, but now im kind of stuck on what to choose between notts and uea.

I would choose Notts as it is a RG uni.

'Russell Group' is just a marketing concept - it doesn't actually mean anything beyond that.

It certainly doesnt mean that anyone will enjoy that course more, or have a happier time at that Uni.

Yes I know that, however, it sometimes influences employability except of course for medical courses. Given those two options, I would still pick Nottingham, but then, that's me :smile:
