English language requiremtents for veterinary medicine

Hi everyone, I’m an international student studying in Japan and have applied to UK universities through UCAS. I forgot to mark my IELTS test as “pending” on my applications—will this be a problem? Can I submit my results after receiving an offer, and would this put me at a disadvantage?

I'm assuming by not putting it as 'pending' your submitted a grade for it? Or put it in as a qualification that you'd already completed by mistake? Whichever it is I think its best to contact the Universities that you plan on applying to and let them know about it because once you've submitted an application you cant edit it. As for whether it would put you at a disadvantage im not sure since it would depend on your Uni but hopefully theyre understanding that it was a simple mistake

Thank you!
I contacted them and said that it was okay to submit it after I get an offer.
