Transferring to Glasgow University

Hi, Im currently in my first year in Accounting at Caledonian University but I really want to reapply or transfer to Glasgow University because of various reasons. When I applied through UCAS last year, I was given a conditional offer to both universities, however the conditions to Caledonian were lower and I met them and not Glasgow's entrance requirements. I’m willing to retake a higher to get a better grade if they require the same requirements for highers. But i’m just wondering if completing first year and possibly second year too would give me a better chance?
This is a real long shot - but is there any chance I could request a transfer to Glasgow? For various reasons I just feel like I'd be better at University of Glasgow, is there any point even phoning to ask or is it just completely pointless?

Hello!
You can read our full policy on transfer requests on our website here: www.gla.ac.uk/undergraduate/entryrequirements/policy/#universitytransfer
As a general rule, the University does not accept applications from UK students to transfer from another institution unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Our extenuating circumstances policy can be found here: www.gla.ac.uk/undergraduate/entryrequirements/policy/#extenuatingcircumstances
All transfer requests must be made through UCAS and will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Applications from students currently studying at another Higher Education Institution must meet the current SQA Higher or A level entry requirements to be considered for an offer.
I hope this is helpful!

I was able to get a conditional but didn't meet it because of my higher maths grade so if I was to get a conditional would it be on higher maths or just my university transcript?

Did you read the previous post? It contains your answer. Your only chance is if you are getting such epic scores now, Glasgow are prepared to break their own rules. Universities are very wary of the process you are trying to execute, ie a back door entry into more academic courses.

I did read the previous post but I'm not asking about transfers. I'm asking about applying into first year through UCAS.

Same thing applies though - why wouldn't it. Glasgow is protecting the academic strength of its cohort. You would have to have excellent grades from your current course for Glasgow to take the risk that you had overcome the level you were at when you were at school. And again, as a matter of policy, it gives the impression there is an alternate route into Glasgow, which isn't good for Glasgow or other universities.

It doesn’t give any impression as admissions emailed me to apply for next year entry if I missed by a grade this time. There are many ways to get into Glasgow with supporting programs, not just excellent grades, which I know from my previous offer made https://showbizztodayz.com/ . Thank you.
