Clearing Cardiff Uni

Hi guys,

I applied to Cardiff Uni through clearing, got through the interview and was given a verbal offer. they told me to put an application through UCAS which i did as soon as i got the verbal offer. today UCAS updated and said i was unsuccessful? what should i do. i am very confused and extremely stressed. i’ve tried ringing them but they’re closed for the weekend now. I emailed and left a voicemail. i’m really worried as i did receive a verbal offer but UCAS is saying something else? i’ve reapplied with UCAS again for the same course.

"Got through the interview"
Did they tell you they would definitely make you an offer at the end of the interview?

Yes i had the interview, got put in a waiting room whilst they discussed & then they told me i got a space in the course and told me to apply through UCAS if i want to accept their offer. i also got an email with instructions what to do so they can accept me on UCAS.

Then phone Cardiff on Monday am and ask why you were not made an offer

but can they reject you after making a verbal offer? i was even told at the end to come into an open day for the course tomorrow. i’m really confused why this has happened

It may be a mistake - but the only people who can tell you for certain is Cardiff.
