EPQ Withdrawel

My school have made me do EPQ however I left it out of my UCAS application as I knew I was going to give no effort to it anyway.

I have received and accepted my offers.

Due to internships and grad schemes having A level requirements I am worried that getting a low grade or even fail in EPQ will hinder my chances even if I get good grades with my other 3 A levels.

Can I just withdraw from the course even though Its this late?

I would ask if you could withdraw, but it may be too late if you have already been entered for the qualification.

And just to note that UCAS requires you to declare all pending quals, not just the ones you think you'll get decent grades in. Worst case, your uni choices deem your application fraudulant and withdraw it.

If you withdraw from it, it should be no issue.

If you decide to complete it, or don't have a choice, use this form ASAP and then email your choices to apologise for the oversight:
