Universities can be surprisingly tough on conditions like this. Some of them use GCSE Maths & English Language results as a filter to cut down the number of applicants given offers.

Your best bet is to ask directly whether they would consider you or whether you are wasting their time. If they say it's ok, get it in writing in an email so they can't renege later on.

What did you get in as level?

Call and ask. Thats the best thing you can do. You may have to resit maths though. But honestly it will all seem fairly easy now compared to anything you did at A level, in terms of the workload that is.

I called and they said they can try and allow me but probably not. I'm going to the open day tomorrow and will ask in person. Thanks for your help

If you get to talk to an admissions tutor or similar about this and they are very positive, get their name and email them to make sure they are just as encouraging away from the open day - when they will probably say anything to get their numbers up!
