Accidentally applied for the wrong economics program.
Ok so..
I applied using ucas and since most of the unis had l100 as bsc economics, I put this in the university of manchester one as well. However l100 is for baecon and not for bsc economics (which is l102).
So I desperately need some sort of fix so they change the code for me
What to do in this case ?
Somebody help me please 🙏 😭

Is this within 2 weeks of applying cause if you go on your track underneath each application should be the button to change it if its within 2 weeks
Alternatively you can contact Manchester Admissions and they should be happy to do the switch for you.

Call Manchester and ask them to swap this for you.

You'll have to call Manchester, (the swap option can't be used to change courses at the same uni). They shouldn't have any issue with it.
I would recommend calling in the first instance.

Yes, you can. You can ask about a course switch at the same Uni at any time.
You just can't switch Universities after the 14 day cooling-off period.

The UCAS application is 6pm today and Universities are incredibly busy answering last-minute queries.
If you have not heard anything by the start of Feb, then you could just give them a call - and make sure you check your junk-mail.

But if I wait till Feb, it may be too late since they may start reviewing my application for BAEcon

You can't do this yourself - you will have to email that Uni's admissions team and ask. They will then change your course code and send this change to UCAS. Even if you have an offer you can still ask for a course switch - it wouldn't disadvantage your chances of a switch or of an offer.
