University of Bath, near missed offer for BSc in Economics

Hi everyone.

Just to share with you that I got my IB Diploma results achieving a total of 36 points (7 HL Economics/6 HL English /5 HL Maths AA), missing getting a 6 in Maths by 1 point (upper boundary 56 and I got 56!!).
Nevetheless, last night I was truly devastated to receive a rejection from Bath via UCAS portal…
Bath was my firm choice and their offer for a BSc in Economics was 36 with 7/6/6 in HL.
I really can’t think of a nearer miss and I was really expecting Bath to – at least - put my application on hold till August 17th. I intend to get my Maths paper remarked although I’m not sure that Bath will hold the place for me even if I manage to upgrade Maths to a 6?
Will it help if I call Admissions office on Monday to kindly ask them to review my application? Or even book an appointment to see an Admissions officer in person?
Afterall I got a 7 in Economics (area of study) and succeeded to get the 36 total points as per their offer.
Such a pity to miss this by 1%. I’m so disappointed.
Any thoughts please? Any advice will be very appreciated.
Take care
Mike

p.s. I’m an EU student with Settled Status (Home Fees)

Many thanks for your replies.

Yes, I will definitely go for remarking Maths.

Fingers crossed that Bath can reconsider my application in case remarking is successful. I will ring them also this am.

Will keep you posted.

Thanks again & take care.

So sorry. Have you received your remark outcome yet?

Yes, my mark remained the same in maths (56). It was actually pretty fast. Remarking results came in less than 24 hrs.
I'm very devastated. My insurance is Exeter and they have put me on hold till August.
And all this for 1%. I dont know what to say.

That's unfortunate, but I doubt very much that Bath would change their position. Presumably you also missed the Exeter offer as well?

Just looked ae Exeter the maths requirement is a 5 so even if the overall grade is missed it wont be so key. The question will be whether they will have room for near misses and that wont be known until A level results day. It might be worth OP looking into other universities in case of rejection so they are preared for clearing
