I am a Canadian student which planned in UK next year, I received an offer from the University of Birmingham computer science BSc which i need to have 85% average, but it's likely i am going to miss the offer by 0.xxx%, will I get rejected?
Uk unis are usually pretty strict with requirements so if you’re below it you will prob get rejected. In the uk we tend to round our results to a full percentage though so if it’s <0.5% off you might be okay. If you don’t get in it’s definitely worth ringing them up on results day and explaining how close you were to the requirements and if they have spaces left they might let you in. I hope it doesn’t come to this though!

so they will round it up to 85% if I got 84.5%?? Is it a traditional thing or depends on the university?
Thanks for response I have direct ask the university about this situations
It depends on how it shows on your report card and transcript, because I think my school report card shows as rounded up but the saskatchewan high school transcript shows some of my marks as decimals, but usually if its going to be rounded up you should be fine just phone them up when you get your results
I am in a different situation I was having 78,86,87,84,86,86 in my top 6 subjects, which means I was like having 84.5% average, it really depends on if the university would round up 84.5%to 85%
could u explain on the link i have sent above, base on what they said am I getting huger chance on getting in?
From what it says on the website it looks like they’ve lowered the entry requirements this year compared to what they were last year (excluding the subjects mentioned at the bottom)

But they won't be flexible handling my grades if I dun meet the offer right?

I think what it means is the offers have been reduced (the offer you’ve received is probably already reduced) but I think it also means if you get very close to the offer they will be flexible and still accept you to the course

I don't think really reduced my offer grades because AAA in uk = 85% in Canada , if they have reduce it, then I should be only needed 80% to get in
