Will I still be considered if I’m no longer upgrading my results?
If you’ve informed the university that you are no longer upgrading your results, it's important to follow up with them directly. They may reassess your application based on your original results and any additional information you provide. Ensure you communicate clearly and promptly with the admissioRead more

Most universities in South Africa have set application deadlines for the upcoming academic year, and applying early next year might mean you are applying after the main application period has closed. It’s unlikely that your application will be considered for the same year’s intake, as admissions typically close well before the academic year begins.
However, some universities may allow for late applications or have mid-year intake options depending on the program and availability of space. I recommend checking the university’s admissions deadlines or contacting their admissions office to confirm if any late applications are allowed.

Thank you for reaching out. I understand how frustrating this situation can be.
While meeting the minimum entry requirements, such as having an English Level 2, is important, it does not guarantee acceptance into the program. Universities typically receive many applications, and they often select students based on how competitive their marks are compared to others. In your case, a Level 2 mark in English may not be competitive enough, as higher-performing students may have been prioritized.
It’s possible that older matric results are not as competitive as more recent ones, especially in highly applied-for programs. I would suggest considering upgrading your marks, particularly in key subjects like English, to strengthen your application. This can improve your chances of being accepted in the future. Additionally, you might want to explore similar programs with slightly different requirements that align better with your current qualifications.
