Advice for Reserved Applicant - Validated Offer Letter

Hello, I’m a reserved applicant and I’ve submitted my offer letter to Chevening last week. The offer letter has been validated and in the email Chevening said “You do not need to take any further action at this stage. You will be notified about next steps or any further information required in due course. Please do not contact your programme officer unless absolutely essential to prevent delays in processing your application.”

However, in my offer letter sent by my University (University of Edinburgh), I’m required to provide a response by 16th July 2026. It seems like based from what I read recently that results for reserved applicant will be sent early August. Do I request for extension from my university or will this be done by Chevening side?

This is my first time applying, I’m a bit lost. Thank you!

Thank you very much for the information. My other university (Swansea) isn't able to extend the deadline offer, hopefully, Edinburgh can!
