Will I be accepted by Lancaster if I miss out by one point in ib?

I'm hoping to study business management at Lancaster University this September but I'm worried I won't meet the requirement grades which is 32 due to the leaks that is happening in ib final exams, the grade boundaries might be higher .
I'm worried specially about math as I really struggled in gaining high marks and if the grade boundary gets high than I might miss my requirement grade
Would Lancaster accept me if I miss out by one grade in IB ? Due to the leaks that happened on may24 ib exams ?

Hi @Fran she j
Sorry to hear about your situation with the IB leaks. I'm unsure whether the university would accept lower offers as it depends on factors like how full the course is ect. You could try emailing [email protected] for advice if the university is doing anything in response to IB leaks.
Alternatively, there is the option to apply to Lancaster again through clearing, where if there's still spaces left on the course, then lower entry grades might be accepted.
Hope this helps!
