Dd has applied via UCAS using 4 of her 5 choices. She’s had successful interviews and an offer at her first choice.
She’s changed her mind and is adamant she’s making a big mistake and wishes she’d applied to do something completely different, not related to her first choice at all. At the time of application she was torn between the 2, and now regrets it.
I’m so sad for her, she should be thrilled now with her offer and instead just doesn’t want to do it. We’ve had a chat about it just being cold feet and nerves but she thinks not.
What we can we do?
The course/ related courses she wants are at the university she has an offer from. She has the fifth choice spare, but the personal statement won’t match the new course. UCAS extras seems to be if you don’t have any offers. Can we do anything before clearing? Will they accept a fifth choice on a new personal statement?
It feels like such a mess, just when she should be excited and having the incentive of her first choice and required grades we are back to square one and the closing date has been and gone.
Any experience or advice would be appreciated x
