Why is fixing admin mistakes so difficult

Going through paperwork as an incoming international student and at some point my birth year in the system got changed from 20XX to 20XY. I know this happened recently because they already verified that my passport matched my application when I accepted the offer like 2 months ago and had to confirm another bit of information. I tried reaching out and was told that they can't change anything due to data protection issues (understandable) but also I need this to be corrected in order to adequately pay my tuition/accommodation and take out my student loans.

So like... exactly how concerned should I be about getting my CAS and visa lol

Not meeting grades

Hi everyone! Im currently sitting my a levels but I’m a bit worried about meeting my offer (AAB) because I’m pretty sure I flunked my bio exam, which is the one subject I need an A in oops. I really really dont wanna resit but I also really want to go to uob as it’s my dream school. Some people have told me some unis accept you even if you dont meet their offer, so has anyone on here had that experience? If so could you let me know what your offer was and what you got just so i could see if i even have a chance lol. I’ve also heard its based on what course you do, I applied for what I think is a course with not a very large cohort, and they also gave me an offer even tho i didnt meet their entry requirements initially.
Thank you so much!!

Is 10% word count under for an essay considered acceptable here?

I have a 3200 essay due - would 320 words under be ok, or would it be more like 100 or 200?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I am an international student from Australia who wishes to study at the University of Birmingham in term 1 or term 2. From my understanding there are three areas for accommodation. Which is the best? What are each of their stereotypes? Are there internal buildings with stereotypes? Should I pay extra for catering?

I am 20, love football, football coach in australia, studying both law and finance.

Let me know if there is anything else i should consider?

Thanks!!!
