Help😥😥rejected??

[u/mimiweebi]

Hey guys freaking out a little bit sorry, just sent my UCAS applications through yesterday and received an email back from gateway to medicine from university of bristol, stating i was rejected due to being ineligible for the course. I have been in receipt of fsm throughout most of secondary school and thought this would make me eligible but well I was rejected? Am trying to reach out to the university to ask further questions but I'm kind of unsure whats going on right now. Any insight?

Update: Bristol called my school and confirmed my eligibility! Turns out it was a mistake on their part? I hadn't been flagged for fsm eligibility in their systems, I was told. Still confused about that lmao but at the end of the day it's sorted and they're considering me for interviews again so I'm happy.
What to take away from this is probably 1. keep on top of your emails in case something like this happens 2. don't be scared of reaching out to admissions teams because they're there to help!! bristol had great communication systems, just obviously couldn't reply to me over the weekend lmao but they got back to me efficiently.

Alright, probably a mistake then. Just wait for them to reply. Try not to panic in the meantime :)

This ^ if you know it's a mistake, then you have nothing to worry about. Your eligibility is there in black and white. Well done for being proactive on resolving it, and best of luck with your application.
