Urgent Help!!!!

Hi!! I am an incoming U.S. student at the University of Edinburgh. I apologize if this was a stupid assumption but when I applied through UCAS last fall, I omitted one AP score since it was not relevant to my subject (I fulfilled the requirements with all my other ones). I saw a post saying that this might get my offer revoked!! I have no idea what to do and I am terrified- I did not mean to deliberately withhold information- I just thought the process was similar to Common App where you can report whichever scores you’d like, and I didn’t think this one score was relevant information. Please help!!!

Have you contacted Edinburgh to explain this?
Genuine mistakes aren’t likely to be a problem if you notify them as soon as you realise. It’s wilful deception that is considered harshly.

I haven’t yet- I just realized it was an issue. Do you think it’s too late to reach out and apologize?

Hey, call 01316671971 tomorrow after 10am (Edinburgh time) and they will help. Be quick though because A Levels will be released on the 15th and it'll be chaos.

Undergraduate admissions. Be very clear with them, tell them the issue, and propose a solution. Be like:
“Hey I’m …, I’m an International Student, I made my offer but on a second look one of the APs is missing from the list on UCAS. May I give you my student or UCAS number?” Give it to them. “Is there an email address where I may send an explanation to what happened, so you could attach it to my application when reviewed?
They’ll likely give you an email address, send it, and then call back in, tell them about the call you had earlier that day, give them your s or UCAS number and ask them to attach the email to your file, and to flag the application.
I hope you get in, and let me know how it goes!
What will you be studying?

I literally just fixed my situation this week, so I don’t think it’s too late, and they confirmed my spot on Friday. I start on the 1st, so you have a little more time, but once they have all the info they need I think these applications go in a queue to get reviewed and then they’ll update UCAS.
They are currently in this embargo as PQ mentioned above and I believe it ends at 8am on the 15th meaning you probably won’t get the confirmation until then anyway.
But does the College Board send your results straight to UCAS, or did you have to upload a transcript to the MyEd?

Philo, you?

Speaking as someone working in undergraduate admissions this week: we don’t want applicants phoning during the embargo period.

Yeah this is probably true. I tried calling the number this morning, and asked my question, and the man over the phone said “one second” and then hung up on me after about 10 seconds. I tried calling back and this time the call wasn’t going through. Should I just wait until the embargo period is over, or send an email now?

Send an email now
If you want to speak to someone then the international recruitment team will often be able to help.

Thank you! I did reach out to the international team and they said it probably be ok. The score that I didn’t report was in an irrelevant subject but was lower than my other scores (all 5s)and didn’t get me AP credit. Will this one score negatively affect my application or do they only consider the highest scores?

Have you emailed Edinburgh admissions and have they replied to you?

I’ve emailed the international recruitment team and they told me they notified head of admissions. I’m just wondering if my offer could be revoked if the AP score I didn’t report is lower than the rest, even though it wasn’t relevant to the course.
