The Strathclyde offer hasn't appeared on UCAS Track yet, but once it does, she will be given a deadline by which she has to make her firm and insurance choices (insurance is optional, but I think pretty much everyone chooses one). I don't know what the deadline will be.
Her head of sixth form said when she first submitted the UCAS form that once her offers were in he would discuss her choices with her in the light of her performance at that stage (he had February in mind). This is because some of her choices are aspirational and she wants some advice to help her make a realistic decision. Meanwhile, she is now saying that she doesn't want to go to her 'safety net' choices - she would rather take a year out and try to improve her application, probably by repeating an A level.
So it will probably be an aspirational for firm and an 'on-target' for insurance.
Then all she has to do is get the grades - simple!
mumslife, DD had a call yesterday from someone at Aston (or possibly Birmingham, which would be very odd) DD wasn't in so DH took the message and didn't ask enough questions!. We think it was a student getting in touch like you had from Southampton. Hopefully she will call again this evening.
Anyone else had contact like this from any unis?
