Do unis know my school doesnt have Further maths?

I just realised that my teacher did not write anything about the school not having further maths. i moved after 2 years to an international highschool to do a levels and used one of my old teachers letter of rec. so do i need to email them?

edit: i applied to durham exeter, lse, nottingham and bristol. for the first 2 i already got an offer. i also took the tmua and did not send it since my 6.2 seems kinda low. is it too late to send it now and say something like no fm but i took the tmua? maybe they think i hid the tmua at first?

Unless your referee explained that your school don't offer Further Maths, then the university has no way of knowing that. You haven't mentioned for what course you have applied, but it's presumably one where some universities express a preference for Further Maths, if it's available at your school. Is that the case?

A TMUA score of 6.2 is a little on the low side, but not significantly so. The scale is designed such that around a third of test takes will achieve overall scores higher than 6.5. So 6.2 puts you a little outside the top third. It's not too late to provide your TMUA score now.

Are you happy with the offers you've received from Durham and Exeter? Were you really hoping for an offer from one of the others too?

Ask your school to email them and to apologise for not including the information in your reference.

Did you consider self-teaching? Why did you choose a school not offering FMaths?
