yay
About two months ago, when I registered my UCAS application online, I typed in my name in the box where you type in your name (duh!).
For those of you who don't know, my surname is spelled with an Æ, which does not exist in the English alphabet. What the UCAS system did was to simply remove the letter, rather than replacing it with AE, as is more commonly done.
I was a bit worried that that might be a problem when the time came to actually recieve/accept university offers, but today, I got a message from the admissions officer at the University College of London, where she said that she would take care of informing UCAS and the other universities of my misspelt name, if it really was misspelt (she got the suspicion that it was from my email adress, in which the name is spelled with AE).
So that took care of my worries.
More importantly, the email began with the following sentence:
"We are pleased to tell you that UCL intends to make you the offer of
a place on the BA in English."
I'm going to university next fall. Yay!
