warwick course transfer

Firstly, barely more than a week since emailing and less than a month since submitting an automated form enquiry is really not unrealistic. The form maybe is getting on a bit although those things are never exactly reliable to start with. Basically no chance you're going to get an email response within just a week. If you don't hear back within a month by email then maybe be a little concerned.

Anyway, managing your expectations about university administration response times aside, do you actually hold an offer from them already? If so then you don't really have too much to worry about as it's not like it will go away. If not then you would have needed to contact UCAS within 2 weeks of submitting an application to change it, not the uni.

don't have an offer and I decided after the 2 week period to change it

Ok well then you've contacted the wrong people, you need to contact UCAS within the two week period.

If you're outside of the two week period then you can't change it normally and I suspect the uni may not be that fussed about supporting this unless they were going to give you an offer anyway. Normally if you've applied somewhere after the 2 week period and then want to change, it will be after you have an offer.

Otherwise you're just a totally random student they haven't even decided they want making demands of them!

ok thanks that makes more sense, just had other advice that said it would be easier to request this before i get an offer

do you think its possible after I get an offer, then?

I mean it's ultimately up to the uni in any event. Depends if they are still considering applications for the other course and probably also how competitive it is. Also which course you're trying to swap from potentially, as if it's a totally unrelated course they may want a new personal statement (or they may just feel you'd need to reapply in a gap year).

Which course did you apply to and which course are you hoping to be considered for?

Just to correct the above, you can’t use UCAS within 14 days to swap a choice at the same uni. It has to be the uni themselves that do it.

(This is unless things have changed in hub but certainly the guidance on UCAS’s site still says this).

I always advise to wait at least 10 working days before chasing up on any email. After that, calling is best if you can find a number that works, (multiple emails will not speed things up).

Applied for Economics, want to switch to MORSE
Think my PS falls under both, and I have the grades etc

Ah ok, thank you for the correction! I didn't know that
