Just got rejected from the University of Bath for psychology

They wrote a very generic statement for my reason for rejection.

Im wondering if there is any way I could find out more on why they rejected me and/or if theres any way I could still go to UoB for psychology without having to take a gap year

Hi!
There is still a chance that you could study Psychology at Bath by clearing. Clearing opens on results day where a variety of courses offer places. These can even be at a lower grade. As far as finding out why you got rejected, you may need to email the University of Bath directly.
I hope this helps.

Hello,

I am sorry that we were unable to make you an offer for this course and know that this will have been very disappointing.

Psychology is a highly competitive course here at Bath and we receive many applications from applicants who meet or exceed the entry requirements. When making our decision we do use your predicted grades, achieved grades and personal statement.

This course has not been in Clearing here at Bath for a number of years and it is highly unlikely that we will see it in Clearing this year either.

If you would like feedback from the Admissions Team, please do email [email protected] and please be aware that it may take a little time to get a reply. Unfortunately we won't be able to reconsider our decision.

Once again, I am sorry that we haven't been able to make an offer and wish you all the best in your other applications.

Best wishes,

University of Bath

Rejections are always hard, even if you know the numbers are stacked against you.

I note the reply th university makes no reference to the students they wrote to with very personal unpleasant (and in fact entirely wrong) negative feedback for this course rejecting them (and that feedback was unsolicited and the first the students heard from Bath) only to be told the next day “oh sorry, we made a mistake and didn’t mean that email for you, and actually you’ve been accepted”.

As a parent I’d say you’ve had a lucky escape from Bath’s messy admin and the personal nasty nature of their first email. Needless to say- whilst Bath had been a first choice it’s definitely our young persons last choice- and with no input from us: she herself says it they can’t get this right, and can be so nasty about it, it doesn’t bode well for the actual degree that she actually has to pay for.

Hello,

We are very sorry to hear of your experience and this doesn't match our expectations or what we expect to provide. Our Admissions Leadership Team would very much like to hear about your experience and would be grateful if you could email [email protected] with details of what happened.
Given the amount of applications we receive, we do only provide feedback to applicants who request it and we would very much like to look into what has happened in this case.

Best wishes,

University of Bath
