i am a bit confused. i have had an email from ucas and all it says is the 2 uni's i applied for and one says unsuccessful and the other says conditional. i haven't even had an interview.

are you due to sit any exams? Conditional means you'll get as long as you fulfill their requirements, which should be set out in the offer letter.

you'll get in

The offer is conditional in that if you successfully complete/pass your access course you will have a place at the uni.

OMG! i can't believe i have had an offer. i just find it odd that they didn't invite me for an interview. some of the girls on my access course have had interviews. i thought i was unsuccessful.

yes, the offer is conditinal means you have a place if you meet the exam grades. LOts of people get offers without interviews as universities cant interview everyone

Yes, it is an offer. But it means that it is conditional on something - either interview (unlikely) or confirmation that you have passed certain exams (ie successful completion of your access course). You should get a separate letter from the uni which will inform you as to the details of the offer.
