Editing contextual details on UCAS for Medicine

Heyyy

I was wondering and I found that I can be eligible to put young carer down on my application, HOWEVER i didnt put that on my application. Ik ik my bad guysss but i honestly didnt know whether i would be considered as one. Anyways, is there any way I can let all my unis know? Also, i already got a rejection from hull york med school so would they reconsider if i put this on too? I really need some quick advice guys!! Helppp😅😅
Thank youu

UCAS have the ability to accept some changes (e.g. to your address, or the the qualifications you'll be taking) - see this web page - but don't appear to have a way to update them of your status as a young carer. In any case, it's best to update the universities with any changes directly too anyway.
So, take a look at the contextual criteria for each uni to which you've applied and see if being a young carer is listed - each will have a web page showing the contextual rules. If they say it'll have an impact, then contact the admissions team (with your UCAS id) and let them know.
See the criteria used by Hull York Medical School here. I see no mention of being a young carer having any impact on that page, or the linked definition for care experienced / care leaver on this page.

Hey, same thing with me. I forgot to add that I’m a young carer - have you tried asking your school what to do about this?

Hey no i didnt ask school bc technically school doesnt even know to begin with 😅😅 tough situation lol. Wht have u done abt it?

Hey so basically I emailed UCAS and they were able to update my application. So just email them

You also need to notify your choices directly. Depending on their systems they may not update from UCAS after your application has been received.

Thank you, KCL have updated their system for me. My other unis haven’t requested for further information. I’ve emailed them all last week but they were away for Christmas/New Years. I aim to call them on Monday

Hi,

Just a quick question, did kcl ask u for proof? Ive applied there too and theyve asked me for it. What did u give them (if they asked)?

Looks like that user has deleted their account.
