What happens if you're 4 UCAS points short of entry requirements?

I'm sure (and hoping!) I wont be short of any UCAS points but in worse case scenario, what would happen if I was 4 points short of a university's entry requirements?
For example, if I had 108 points and their requirement was 112?

Contact admissions see if they'll bend if not you'll need to some sort of qualification or retake to fulfill the requirements

Do you think they would be more willing to bend seeing as its only 4 points?

It's possible that they'll still accept you. Don't worry too much.

Yh I think they will, however does your insurance accept lower than your firm, will they accept the 108?

You shouldn't get in nor do you deserve to if you've missed the offer, but if you complain enough and beg you should get in.

Also, only excuse will probably be extenuating circumstances or if the course is dead empty and no one does it they may allow you.

Entry requirements are there for a reason, same way if someone needs A*A*A for Oxbridge and they miss they offer they can't beg their way in (unless extenuating circumstances), if you don't get you 112 (BBC?) you most likely be rejeceted.

Ok thanks, I'm sure i will meet the requirements as I've put the work in but i just wanted to check incase the worse happens, just to be prepared to know the next step if i didn't meet the requirements same as i'm getting prepared in terms of the course etc if i did meet the requirements

Wishing you all the best and you seem motivated/determined enough (you wouldn't be posting on TSR if you didn't care!) so you deserve it!


GOOD LUCK! Sure, you'll smash it!
