Withdraw within 14 days and reapply in same cycle?

I originally planned to apply for law to Cambridge and so my college sent in my application today but i changed my mind and now i want to apply for a different course in the creative department to king’s or Ucl. Can i withdraw my application and reapply as a mainstream candidate in the same cycle seeing as i applied this morning and it isn’t past the 14 days? And the deadline for the mainstream is in January so i thought it would be fine but i would like to check.

Hi, you should be able to change your universities and course however I'm unsure of the deadline since you have sent the application. Best thing to do is call up ucas and ask them directly. Good luck 🍀

Don't withdraw, as in UCAS lingo this means to exit the cycle fully with no return. What you want to do is change one of your choices, which can be done on the UCAS hub easily online.
