DD has offers which are all high and all very similar. Except for one uni which revised their offer to unconditional. This uni would not be her first choice. Now after some course work resulting in an unexpectedly low (disastrously low!) mark, her predicted grades are looking unlikely and therefore so are her chances of meeting her offers including the uni she was intending to put as her firm offer. The unconditional offer is therefore looking very tempting if only to avoid playing Russian roulette with the grade boundaries in August!
I have two questions.
- Is there any point in her contacting her intended first choice uni and coming clean and seeing if they want her enough to revise down their offer? The poor coursework mark is not in the subject she wants to study. This uni has given unconditional offers to students but unfortunately not in DD's subject.
- If she has a miracle performance in the exams can she go through adjustment if she has accepted the unconditional offer in May? I'm assuming not but we are new to all this!
Any advice gratefully received.
