Revoked an Accepted UCAS Offer and really regret it.

I got accepted into Robert Gordon’s Grays School of Art for an Unconditional and accepted it immediately.

I ended up cancelling and deciding to take a gap year, but now I really really regret pulling out… I got too scared of moving cities and stuff but now I realise I was being stupid and it would’ve been really good for me.

Is there any way they can undo it and I can go to Uni this year? I feel so stupid. I don’t even know what happened but I don’t want to take this gap year anymore.

I feel like an idiot. Ugh.

Hey, there’s nothing you can really do about it now, yes you may feel it was a stupid decision but don’t beat yourself up about it, other opportunities will come your way. I’d try contacting the university directly, and explain your situation and maybe they’ll be understanding. If you do choose to contact the university then call, don’t email as these sorts of situations should be dealt with urgently. Better yet, when on the phone ask to speak directly to the lecturers of the degree you were set to take. If the university says they cannot offer you your place back, perhaps there may be an available space through clearing. All the best, whatever happens, you’ll be okay!

PHONE UCAS.
There is still a possibility that you may be able to re-instate this if the Uni will give permission.
Phone UCAS to get the ball rolling - but be very certain that it is what you want before you phone.

As a more general point, I'd suggest looking at your sources of support and building them, as a bit of a brake on the impulsivity.
