UCAS changed my course

Iam absolutely devastated. I applied for Paramedic Science at several universities including NTU i’ve received most of my offers but the one university I wanted to go to changed my course to “Health and Social Care”. What can I do? I refuse to believe this is true. I feel like an idiot

Don't be too hard on yourself, channel that emotion into positive action. Contact their admissions department and politely ask why they have offered you a different course(if you can find a number and pluck up the courage to ring them you'll likely get a more swift response). Perhaps there is a reason for it but perhaps there is an error somewhere and it needs reviewing. Good luck..

Hey thank you for the support. I’m still feeling low. I’ve emailed there admissions and I’m going to give them a call tomorrow as I’m so determined and desperate to get this offer.

Its a really stressful time waiting for offers so its completely normal to feel gutted when something unexpected happens. Giving them a call and talking it through with them is a great way to go, I'm sure they'll be really happy to look into it with you and fingers crossed for a good outcome for you. Good luck.

What is the likelihood that i’ll be able to receive at least one offer? I really can’t believe that this is what my application has come to.

You said in your first post that you had received "most" of your offers, so I'm confused.

This will be because they don't want to make you an offer for Paramedic and are offering you a different course instead of just saying No. They should send you an email explaining this - check your junk mail.

Yeah so when i called, it was mentioned that my grades were fine but my personal statement didn’t meet there “standards”. Honestly I’m so over it as I think it’s some what pathetic. But i got into a better university such as Oxford Brooke’s and I have my offer confirmed. I’m still contemplating if I want to take the Brooke’s offer or go straight to clearing for NTU. I’m not sure i’m in the middle
