    I stand to be corrected but I personally think that the system is flawed for those upgrading their marks. Most universities accept upgrading students and when applying some do allow you to select that you’re upgrading your marks. However, they don’t actually consider your application until after maybe you have actually sent the new set of results to someone responsible for admissions. Now my question is, why would you make it an option for me to state that I am upgrading but then don’t wait for my new results to make a decision?

      Well I have heard one guy who said he called the admissions office and let them know that he had sent his upgraded results and asked for reconsideration, take note of the fact that even if you meet the requirements with the upgraded marks it does not guarantee admission.
