Mistake in UCAS application

Hello, I don't really know what to do i have 3 conditional offers already and I have seen that i have a mistake on my UCAS application, in the qualification section.
Instead of saying BTEC Level 3 Diploma it said Extended.
-I have BTEC diploma and an A-level
Well, now I have already contacted the universities and only 1 of the 5 have replied, UCAS already changed the application but my question is, will the universities take away the offers or not?

What other level 3 qualifications do you have, if any?

A BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma is the equivalent of three A levels, and so will meet the requirements of many university courses on its own. A BTEC Level 3 National Diploma is the equivalent of just two A levels. So unless you have some other level 3 qualification(s) along side it, you are unlikely to meet the entry requirements.

Have you checked the web pages for the courses / universities for which you're applying, so see what they say about the Diploma vs. the Extended Diploma, in terms of entry requirements?

As for the offers being taken away, they don't need to bother (although they might). The conditions will (presumably) state that the offer is subject to achieving a particular grade in the Extended Diploma. If you're not taking that, then there's no need to withdraw the offer - and you simply can't meet the condition.
