Today J is heartbroken, fuming and disappointed. The university rescinded the offer of a place. They have given him 3 reasons for their decision.
- One of his qualifications wasn’t what he thought it was and so he doesn’t have the required UCAS points to automatically qualify.
- The man who processed his application made a mistake and put that he had a level 3 qualification which he doesn’t.
- When the course tutor reviewed the application they decided that he didn’t have a strong enough background yet.
They have advised him to do a one year level 3 course before applying next year to start in year 1 (he was applying for foundation entry). Unfortunately he has already told his friends he’s going to university. He was looking forward to a fresh start. We’re fuming too of course, he was so excited and we’re worried about him given his recent history.
However, a back up plan has emerged which may prove to be even better. He is thinking of going to Huddersfield and living with T. It benefits them both which is a bonus for me, cos helping 2 sons is better than 1. T lives in a house share, with people he doesn’t know or like. He has been looking for a flat of his own but can’t afford it. If J goes over to live with him we will help with rent and J will attend college over there, doing an access course.
So tomorrow I am going to ring and see if he can get on the course while T tries to find suitable accommodation. We have lots to do and not long to do it in.

Things have a way of working out.
I hope so!!!
That sucks, its such a shame that it didn’t go as planned but things find a way.
It’s hard when your kids have problems that you can’t solve. The backup plan sounds very good. I hope things go better now.
Me too..
This sounds so hard sweet and I was really sorry to read about what has happened. I really hope that this other option works out as it sounds like it could be good all round. Hope he is ok and you too ❤️
Good luck with the new plan!
I’m so sorry that S2 has had to experience this especially much of it out of his control. But I too see a positive out for him. There are many paths to a successful future.
I’m sorry to hear it, but hope that the new plan comes to fruition.
That is frustrating, but I hope things work out. Sometimes plan b is better than plan a.
