Can I use substitute another one of my choices with one ive already swapped out
Hi in a bit of a stressful situation rn and wondering if anyone could help with any info...
I put my application in to UCAS last week and changed my mind about applying to Bath so changed it for another Uni due to fear of not getting an offer. I now regret this and was wondering if I could substitute one of my other 4 choices for Bath as an option again? I know UCAS doesn't let you change the already substituted choice but wondered if anyone has any experience of changing another one?
Thanks guys

You can substitute each of your five choices once. So that's a total of five substitutions if you change each of them. I've never heard of anyone substituting to re-add a uni they substituted away from. But I don't see why you shouldn't be able to do that.
Given that you're clearly quite indecisive, can I suggest that you pause for a day or so and make really sure that you're happy with the next substition(s) you make. (Just make sure you're still within the 14-day windows during which substitutions are allowed.)

im in a similar spot - except i received an 'alternate' offer from Bristol, which i quickly swapped out for another relevant course from a different uni, which I regret as I wish i could reason with them on the phone about my rejection did you manage to do this?

Would it count as a late application if the swap is made after the 29th?

They aren’t going to be interested in reasoning with you on the phone about your rejection
