I applied for two courses, sent my applications off. Now I’m not sure I want to study those courses at university. I applied for two business course and received offers from both but have not confirmed any, but i also want to apply for a psychology course. My personal statement is heavily centred round the business courses i applied for, how should i go about applying for the psychology course if i can’t do another personal statement? Should I contact the University? What should I say? Can you offer any advice.
I already know my results as I finished college last year and have spent this year working and saving money for university.


It’s a tiny bit late..
Your best bet is to contact Universities directly and ask them if they would be willing to consider your application or let you send them a new application directly.
Many may say no as they’ll already have hundreds of applicants for that course and don’t want the extra hassle of receiving another application when really, you should have decided this stuff a long time ago (in their opinion).
I know that if a person hasn’t received any offers, they can add more options to their application (if they started out with less than 5, like you did) – but I’m not sure if the same applies to someone who has received offers and just doesn’t want them – you’d be better off phoning UCAS for that information. (I believe it’s called UCAS Extra)
You need to keep on trying, with every university you can find, explaining your circumstances and that you know your grades so for them, it’s a simple task of just looking at the application and saying a final yes or no (so no waiting for results in August).
However you also need to bear in mind that you have missed the deadline and that there is a significant chance that you won’t be able to go to University this year as you have made this decision very late.
Additionally, jumping from Business to Psychology is quite a big move and you would be expected to explain this change to universities before they consider you – so ensure you have a good reason already planned.
Good luck with everything. If you don’t get in this year, at least you now know what you think you want to do, so it should be simpler to apply for psychology directly in the next application cycle.
