How lenient are Sheffield with grades?

I am likely to be one or possibly even two grades below my offer for management. Is it worth firming Sheffield? I really like the course and university. How lenient are Sheffield usually with grades?

Talk to admissions, it depends how full the course is and how many accept to know how many spoare places they have. They deal with near misses after. Talk to the course organiser or admissions and get yourself known. There are likely to be fewer internationals so 2 below may not be out of the question.

I'm already in university elsewhere, (first year) but thinking about applying late for a course at Sheffield for this September because I'm really not enjoying the work I'm doing, and although I love my university, it doesn't offer the course I want to do. I screwed up during exam time and I ended up with ACC instead of AAB but I was accepted into my current uni anyway. I am also worried about grade leniency since I already have the grades. I would recommend emailing your chosen course's school admissions office about it, that's what I've done. I've yet to hear from them yet though. Good luck!

How would you address them? Like what would you say to ask?
