Preliminary college allocation

Hello I was just wondering if anyone knew how likely it is to have your preliminary college allocation changed before we get the official allocation?

Hiya,

Preliminary college allocations are subject to change if the college becomes overly subscribed or if they've filled the required number of students from a specific course, this is referred to as reallocation. It does sometimes happen but I can't tell you if its less/more likely to happen as I don't have that information, and they only happen after results day not before. All I can really say is wait for results day and for the final allocation and see what happens. Just keep in mind, even if you're not reallocated after results day, transferring colleges is only on option if its for medical/accessibility needs. If you'd like to read up on the allocation process to get a bit more understanding and reassurance, I've linked a blog post about the allocation process/collegiate system.

I hope this can help and best of luck 🙂
