How strict are the entry requirements at the University of York?

Hey,

Respectively, I've selected the Unis of York and Chester for my firm and insurance choices; whilst I've already met the entry requirements for the latter in my access course, obviously York is my desired choice. I liked Chester a lot, but completely fell in love with York.

York's entry requirements for the course I wish to study are 36 creds at Distinction, and 6 at Merit; so far, (external moderation notwithstanding) it looks like i'm going I'm going to only get 27 at distinction, 15 at merit and 3 at pass (although I have appealed the latter, that's another story).

How likely is it that I will still get in? I don't want to be unrealistic and get my hopes up, but I'm hoping they'll be lenient on the basis that I have worked full time whilst doing this course, and that I've been out of education for 5 years (i'm 23 in a week). I did e-mail them to explain this, and was told that it would depend based on how far I missed the mark.

Really would appreciate any responses or ideas (even if they're harsh haha).

As far as I know they are a bit more understanding with mature students especially if you didn't give up studying and can show your understanding of your subject and your enthusiasm on your statement.
