My offer was not accepted by NTU.

Have I lost all chances or can I give someone there a call and see if anything can be done?

In theory it should already be with you ... if not, then please call me on the number in the message, and I can get it sent out.

If you've been rejected there isn't much point as they'll have already considered you. If you're getting any sort of remark then contact them else it's time to start looking at your other options.

That just means that they are your firm and they haven't updated your offer yet. Have you met the requirements?

hello thank you for replying, i was required '300 ucas points from 3 Alevels and a grade C in maths'

i got grades C in maths, D in sociology and E in physics.
i was thinking they accepted me because of my C grade in maths?
