Hey everyone!
I'm in a tricky situation and wanted to see what you guys would do if you were in my position. So I had Durham as my firm choice and Glasgow as my insurance. The condition for Durham was a 5 on AP Statistics and for Glasgow it was a 4 on AP Stat.
I got a 4, so now I am being considered as a "near-miss" candidate at Durham. However, I am an international student and require a visa that takes very long to come out and it's a very stressful process. So the issue here is that Durham would come back to me on the 23/24th of August, and I'm not guaranteed a space. So say they reject me by then, Glasgow starts on the 11th of September. Meaning I won't make it in time due to visa issues and I won't even have time to apply for accommodation.
Does anyone have any experience with Durham's "near-miss" process? Do you think waiting is too risky and not very worth it? Shall I go with Glasgow, apply for accommodation and a visa and have everything settled down?
Your help is much much appreciated..
Thanks!

However, they do have a reputation of not being very flexible, and of keeping people waiting. Neither of which is good for your situation.
You can, instead, ask Durham to reject you and let you go to your Insurance.
