GCSE requirements at university

Hi! I was just wondering how strict universities are with their GCSE requirements. I sat mine about 4 years ago and got a 5 in maths, hoping to study psychology at university. Most universities ask for a minimum of 5, however some ask for a 6- if I were to achieve all other entry requirements for the course is there any chance there would be leniency around my maths being one grade below? Thanks for any help.

I think they generally are quite strict on that but you could always contact individual courses you are interested in, to double check.
