Angry I hate ucas!!

If you have read my trying again thread you'll know my story. Anyway I've just had an email from Ucas saying my 2nd application has been removed as only allowed one application per cycle. I rung and asked if anyway they can add my maths qualifaction to my original application and i got a big fat NO!, so have to try again for September 2009 now. Right P!ssed off

Hi

How frustrating for you

I know someone who had same problem with UCAS after she left 2 GCSE off by mistake they wouldnt add hers either.

But, she rang the uni when she found out there was still spaces and explained the problem to them (even after being refused interview earlier) and they said they would review her application. To cut a long story short she got a place in the end for that year

So, give it a go-ring them and explain the problem and say youre willing to go up and show the certificate if necessary and see what they say!

Nothing to loose.

All the best if you try it!!

Ceci

Hi mum2four

Sorry to hear you had no luck when you phoned in November.

The only thing you can do is wait til next intake or if you know they still have places try ringing again and telling them same thing (never know you might speak to someone more helpful)

Write Teesside a letter explaining your situation. A copy of your PS and tell them you've heard they've still got places and would like them to reconsider your application.
