HELP: SOAS asking for sending reference separately

Hi,

My referee has already submitted their reference to UCAS alongside my application, but now SOAS is requesting me to ask my referee to send their reference directly to SOAS's undergrad admissions team.

Is this normal? Or they could just access the reference uploaded to UCAS?

Many thanks in advance!

Did you apply independently or with a school's buzzword?

Hi there! We may ask for an alternative reference if the reference provided wasn't adequate or the referee didn't comment on academic ability (or if you're applying for year 2 and the reference wasn't from your most recent institution).

If you need any further information, our admissions team will be able to help on: [email protected]

I hope this helps!

Many Thanks
Katie 🙂
