Mental illness & university entry requirements

Hi all

I'm thinking of applying to uni in 2015 ( Hopefully Loughborough uni to study sports management ) ... The thing is that i've not got the correct entry requirements for the course which is

BTEC Level 3 Diplomas: 10 units at Distinction plus one academic A-Level at grade B, or 6 units at Distinction plus BB in two academic A-Levels. The BTEC National Extended Diploma will not be acceptable as a stand-alone qualification, but will be accepted in conjunction with one or more A-Levels as per the above requirements.AdditionalStrong GCSE profile (majority A/B) including minimum grade B in Maths and English Language






The thing is i currently have the following

BTEC 90 credit diploma in business ( MM )

A level ICT - E

AS film studies - C

AS Travel & Tourism - B

Got 1B & C's in GCSE's

I understand this is not enough for entry but i am hopeful of going to college to top up my btec to an extended diploma and hopefully get DMM or better. The reason i did no poorly in my studies was because of depression, anxiety and Attention deficit disorder . I have a full medical record showing all this for proof too... Would any uni especially Loughborough take my reasons into circumstances and revise entry requirements for my entry ?

Cheers all
Are you still suffering from those conditions, if so the university will think you probably won't be able to cope with the course.
