Changing my choice in UCAS after receiving an offer
Hello, I just sent my application to universities couple days ago through UCAS. It is possible to change each of the 5 choices once after submitting the application within 14 days.
I was thinking about substituting my choice for one of the schools but then suddenly I received an offer from that school.
Now I don't see any option on the UCAS portal where I could substitute that for a different school. Is there anything I could do?

Yes it's possible, but as you've discovered, the option is hidden in hub when you get an offer. As above, please phone UCAS.
