I hold a UCL offer in Engineering and have received a conditional offer for A*AA (A* in Mathematics). I took four A-levels in Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, and Physics, but I performed poorly on my Maths P4 exam and could not finish it. As a result, I don't think I can meet the A* condition and will likely only receive an A in Maths. However, I may achieve an A* in Physics and Chemistry, and possibly an A in Further Maths.
My question is whether it is possible to appeal and still be accepted into UCL without meeting the A* requirement, given my strong performance in two subjects (Physics and Chemistry/Further Maths) but not in Maths. Alternatively, should I apply for extenuating circumstances? I am considering both options, but I am unsure which would be better. Should I wait until the results are released before appealing?
