[Geoff Cox]

Hello

would appreciate comment on following



1. friend's daughter wishes to train as a vet

2. she got a B in Physics AS - had expected to get A

3. she has sent UCAS application for dentistry as university booklet
said 3 A's required for vet course

4. head of admissions at university said 2A's and a B would be OK

5. would UCAS accept a re-submission on these grounds? submission went
in last Friday.

i doubt it, but it would probably be best to ring ucas and ask.

I believe it is possible to make changes to UCAS applications, particularly
if they not yet been processed by the universities.

The lesson here is that it is always best to make enquiries about
admissions possibilities if you are not sure. As it happens, in my
role as an admissions tutor right now today I have been asked to write
the entrance requirement section for our 2006 entry prospectus. So as
you can see there's a two-year lead. I can't say for sure what my
requirements will be in two years' time, it will depend on whether
applications pick up or drop. I also do like to exercise my discretion
and individual judgement because it most certainly is not the case that
A-level results are a sure guide to degree performance. So anything
published in the prospectus will be a rough guideline rather than a rule
set in stone, and I always welcome enquiries from prospectus applicants
to discuss their position in more detail before a formal UCAS application
is made.

Matthew,

Thanks for your reply - I gather from UCAS that a total change can be
made within 10 days of the original application.

Cheers
