Unconditional offer bath spa

Does an unconditional offer mean that i can e.g not do my a levels and still get in!?

I have short term chronic fatigue and tbh the best decision for me would be to not do any a levels to allow myself to recover without stress or pushing myself however having received this offer from bath spa i am desperate to get there in september so if i need to get 2 or 3 passes then i can definitely work towards that if i just need to get E’s

I am awaiting to hear back from the uni about this but wondering if anyone else knows exactly what an unconditional offer actually means??

You told them on your UCAS form that you were taking A levels, so you need to take the A levels - else your application could be considered invalid. However, if it's an unconditional offer then there is no requirement to pass; any grade will do - even a U. (If you simply don't turn up, you'll get an "X" rather than a grade.)

Despite the above, don't make any radical decisions until you've heard back from the uni. :wink:

Try your best with A-Levels, even with an unconditional - as some graduate jobs may look at your grades on your CV!

Sorry but you're wrong. Any unconditional offer is based on what you already have, not "conditional" on you doing something in the future.

Of course, I'd recommend the OP clarify but I'd also recommend law, offer and acceptance, as an insight.

hey guys thanks for this. I spoke with the uni directly to clarify and they said that i do not need anything. they said they won’t even look at the results i get and don’t mind if i dont even do the a levels. Obviously i think this is a case by case situation and they are saying this because of my condition and because they liked me at the audition thank god! but yes it’s all good!
