I don't want to say which one, but I applied with nearly a full letter grade over their entry requirements, and with relevant qualifications in both GCSE and A Levels. Yet they've told me they'll only accept me if I take a foundation year.
I'm so confused. I can't be alone here, can I? Because now I'm worried maybe I had the wrong grades put on my application, and/or my personal statement was just abysmal somehow and it made them untrusting of my abilities. My parents think it's just the Uni trying to get another 9k out of me.

Do you the necessary Maths requirement. This is often necessary for Computer courses. Possibly at GCSE.
