You can't change it within the UCAS application itself - but many Unis would accept a new PS emailed directly to them for this sort of course change. Just phone that Uni and ask if you can do this.

Yes, but it will take much longer to get a response (potentially, weeks) and for Extra you need to apply quickly in case they close the course. Phoning isnt that scary promise - Admissions staff are really helpful - could the UCAS person at school help you with this?

I gave up on dental hygiene I applied to radiography with the same PS but u can send them on email a new personal statement, after being rejected from DTH I easily passed interview for radiography
