UCAS application submitted to a school I don't go to

Hi,
I initially wrote my entire ucas application myself, had it attached to my school, then dropped out. I assumed that would be fine but when I tried to submit my application it says it has gone to my old school for review. I don't think they're going to anything about it though so I'm really confused. Is there anyway I can retroactively remove my application from the school at this point or can I start a completely new application? Thanks sorry

When exactly did you 'drop out' of this school, how have you managed to switch schools mid-Year 13, and why (apparently) did you use the buzzword for a school you don't actually attend? This doesnt sound entirely credible to me.
You need to call UCAS about this.

Because I wasn't enjoying it anymore. I don't know what you mean about switching schools mid-year 13? Like I said, when I was enrolled at my school I did my UCAS which they made me use their buzzword for.

Didn't realise you said when - about 2-3 months ago.

So how are you now completing your A levels - at another school?

I'm in Scotland, I did my A-level equivalents a year ago. That wasn't really to do with my question anyway.

So, when did you drop out of school if you have already completed your qualifications?

2-3 months ago as previously mentioned.
I’m also hugely confused about the timings, but regardless, to unlink an application from a school you need to speak to UCAS.

Okay perfect thank you, I'm not really too bothered about going to uni anyway so I might just leave it. If you're interested here's the timeline of events.timeline.png
