Change in Predicted grades - what should i do?

I recently managed to change my predicted grades from A*A*A to A*A*A*. However, I sent my application in early October (I am writing this in late November) and am still waiting for three universities to respond, where one is Kings College London. Does anyone know what is the fastest way to contact them in order to change my application? ( i know it's unlikely that they look at it but my course is really competitive [politics and economics] and they will probably not start looking at the application until the end of January). The three universities left are Leeds, London School of Economics and Kings college. Hope everyone has a good day :smile: !!

Unfortunately once an application has been sent off to the universities, predicted grades cannot be changed. I doubt it will make much of a difference, even for the most competitive courses, as in theory, meeting the entry requirements should be enough.

Thanks for the response!! But I saw on the LSE website that they are able to change your grade as long as your school sends an email confirming so. However, I think you’re right when saying that the schools have so much to deal with already that they might not even have time to look at it

Taken from the UCAS website:

Once an application has been sent to UCAS we cannot return it. UCAS cannot make changes to the reference or predicted grades once the application has been sent.”

If LSE state otherwise on their website it’s worth enquiring via email or calling their admissions office but again, I doubt it would make a massive difference seeing as you already exceed the entry requirements with your original predicted grades.

Thank you so much for this!! Hope you have a lovely day :biggrin:

Hi, I submitted the change through https://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/Undergraduate/Applicants/Secure/Contact-UG-Admissions and everything worked out in the end. Hope this helps :smile:
