I hope they are lenient too, I've finished my exams but am still in limbo with regard to whether I've managed to get the required grades!! I have an offer for english language too with politics, I went to a subject talk there back in february with all the offer holders and there wasn't actually that many people there, so I would assume from that demand will be low for the subject. In that case, I think they'll be lenient.
Might even see you there in October!
