Question

Well, I had a problem with UCAS, because i was running out of time and unintentionally i guessed my GCSE results in which i found were wrong only 1 week ago which i reported to UCAS but then they decided to send me a letter for verification in which case they wanted me to send my certificates, passport. which i did and now seeing that my results differ from the application thay have decided to cancel my application.

they sed i could make an appeal, but i really need to sort this out im scared of messing another year up as i need to go uni this year some how..

Thank you

hmm well.. ill agree to what you have said but then again it was more on the unintentional side as i really didn't have my results with me that day because the college i was studying at misplaced them and the only way to give my grades was to predict as i was in alot of problem as the deadline was tht day.

could someone add me on msn and give me some advice please i seriously need it ([e-mail])

thank you

Answer 1

I understand you guessed your GCSE results. Usually when you make a UCAS application, you probably know that you should do it on confirmed and certified GCSE results. As I understand the UCAS timetable, you start applying in the Autumn of Year 13, following GCSE results you should already have from the end of Year 11.

If you decided to resit GCSE results anytime after, or resit them elsewhere, or took them for the first time, and applied to UCAS in the meantime before knowing your results, then that fact that you are sitting the qualifications, but you do not know your results - as I understood UCAS -should be noted on the UCAS application. I.e. I am saying that just as with AS/A level results, GNVQ, and any other qualifications you are doing in the future, you note for all of them when you expect your results to come out (i.e. the Summer) and leave it at that. The bottom line is that you meet the deadline for receipt of applications and work hard on the Personal Statement.

Its difficult for admissions tutors to have sympathy with this case when you have made up your GCSE results - which is what you did, in effect. Am I right in presuming this was not even based on any predicted grades and reports by teachers? This is probably inexcusable for UCAS, but if you are going to appeal then you might better want to claim that their guidance was not clear, or you have documents or advice that advised you you should make it up.

If you do not have such evidence of an error on their part or other serious case of maladministration, it is better that you accept the cancellation with regret and confirm this will not affect any future UCAS applications, spend time getting an established council job in administration or some other doss job, and then apply in the next cycle. You will have much more work experience to discuss on your UCAS application, and you will feel more disciplined and focused on studies, and more sociable and confident than many non gap year students who start university straight from Sixth Form at 18. You can use the skills you have learnt to good effect, and the tutors always love discussing academics with students who are more mature and disciplined in their outlook.

Answer 2

to them, you lied. Pure and simple. YOu tried to get by with a lie and then got caught. What you want now is for someone to listen to your reasonings for the lie.

In truth, I understand what you did and why, but also in truth, you could have left the GCSE off and stated that the numbers were not in, asking that they wait for them. YOU assumed that they would not, so you LIED rather than asking. A simple phone call would have gotten you an answer and cleared all this up.

Ok, so now you need to explain and be honest and open when you point out how you tried to circumvent the system. I wish you well.

Answer 3

Now is the time for honesty, tell them you panicked and guessed the results because you were worried you would miss the closing date. Explain how sorry you are and do a bit of grovelling. You may be lucky and win the appeal.

in basic terms for the reason which you're huge-unfold does no longer mean you're able to bypass. in basic terms overlook approximately them, as long as you do no longer register for training or something, you will in basic terms stay a attractiveness on their acceptance record. many each and every person is great-unfold to numerous diverse universities before choosing the place to bypass, yet until you particularly register for training and pay your classes, you're no longer particularly a pupil there. in case you're able to, in basic terms deliver a letter to the registrar pointing out your purpose to no longer attend.
