its probably best to speak to a lecturer about this. to be honest i would have thought that you would be accepted onto the course, and perhaps onto the bvc. i always was under the impression and im not sure who gave me that impression that cardiff tend to allocate places to people at the uni first and that if you pass with any sort of classification you are likely to get a place, but this i presume must not be the case. hope all goes well for you and really sorry to hear about whats happened in the past year
