University declined offer

Good evening, I wanted to ask something about university offers. So I’ve already chosen my firm choice but now I’m regretting something, can I still be accepted at an uni that I declined? Because i want to enroll on Salford university where I got a conditional offer and I am in the process of completing this condition. On the other hand I wanted to choose Bolton university as my insurance choice but I was told that for them to give me an unconditional offer I had to choose them as my firm choice, but I didn’t think it trough so I declined the offer. Now I was thinking of making them my firm choice and still try to get the condition filled for Salford University so that I don’t loose my chances of getting into university, is that possible? I’m genuinely worried about not being able to complete my conditions and getting rejected from uni.

Contact Salford today and ask if they will honour your original offer if you apply back through clearing. This is your only option this close to results day.
They’re likely to be happy to reassure you and may even be able to send you a clearing offer in writing in a situation like this

Hey @saraa22_,

I would recommend giving our Clearing Line a call at 0300 555 5030 and selecting option two to be transferred directly to our clearing team.

They will be able to guide you and recommend your next steps for your application.
