What do i do?!

I have made a huge mistake. I am applying as a mature student, and miscalculated my UMS scores for Philosophy, with the result that I can now only drop 6 marks in the one module I am retaking on friday. If I drop more than that, I will miss my predicted grade, and my offer to do English at Oxford.

What should I do? Contact the admissions department? Just try my best and hope?

Any advice would be more than welcome, and greatly appreciated.

Do you mean you applied with scores higher than what you have..? If so, I would probably contact the admissions department as if you do not make it then it might look bad if the UMS scores were wrong.
But if they are aware and you end up slightly missing your offer then perhaps they will still consider you? Although, I am not sure if Oxford are lenient at all.

Whereas if you really think it is very likely for you to still get your predicted grade then just try your best instead.

Probably won't help much, sorry.
