UCAS Question

    Just a simple question that I really am struggling to find a definite answer to (ucas and guidance teach gave no assurance). Basically my UCAS has gone through and I have received conditional offers which I plan to accept (MEng Mechanical and Manufacturing at Queens). My question is do the terms of the conditional offer mean that if I get the required grades the place is mine. This is what I think it is currently it is but when my sister was applying for medicine she still was required to compete for her place despite having the conditional offer, so I am not sure if I may have to do similar. Any one know at all ?

    Cheers

    As far as I know, you are highly likely to be accepted on the grades, which your conditional offer stated. Competition only comes into play, when the grades of the cohort of students applying for a particular course deviates significantly from the standard distribution of results in school exams.
