Ucas extra

Hello , I am thinking of using ucas extra to decline my two offers from Royal Holloway an Queen Mary to apply to Manchester for law . Do I still have a chance of getting accepted for Manchester Law in doing so ? Any advice would be appreciated . Thanks

Are your Royal Holloway and Queen Mary offers also for Law, or are you effectively switching course?

Manchester appears to still be accepting applications for Law, which is obviously necessary for you to be able to apply to it via Extra.

How well do your (predicted) grades and subjects align with Manchester's requirements?

Manchester has not yet stopped receiving applications for law on UCAS. But why?

You will lose your insurance if you go to Extra. In case something happens, you will be super panic.

You won't expect there ard lots of places in Manchester for Extra? Manchester will probably be very selective and look for very high and outstanding stats. Manchester and Queen Mary are both RG unis. Queen Mary is not inferior.

If you really want Manchester, you may consider Clearing instead. Some RG law schools (incl. Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham and Sheffield) went into Clearing last year. Concentrate at the exam and get the highest grades, then plan for the move during Clearing.

Thanks for the advice . That was what I was thinking but I'm just worried unis like Nottingham or Manchester won't be in clearing and I'll lose an opportunity. Thanks

Understand your concern. But frankly Queen Mary, Manchester and Nottingham are all very good unis. Rankings are not always objective but if you insist, though different league tables tell different stories, Manchester, Nottingham and Queen Mary are roughly of the same band. There is no need to change.

If you are so determined and don't want to wait until Clearing, you may call Manchester and get their consent before formally enter into Extra.
