missed kings offer

Hi

I missed my kings offer and got BBC and needed ABB. I was 2 marks off an A grade in one of my subjects and plan on sending this for remark so it would be ABC. I wanted to message kings to let them know to see if its possible that although it would slightly be below the conditions, since it is only one grade lower could they be lenient enough to let me in.

I know it may sound silly but do you guys think I have a chance of potentially gaining a position back with this remark.

Thanks

Alright then, a few bits of advice here:

1. Make sure you ask your school for a priority review of marking. Needs to be priority. These take a maximum of 15 days, get going.
2. You need to ask them if they'll take ABC, they may not - the C might be a problem. It'll depend on how many spaces they have left on that course (if any) and how many they are trying to fill in clearing. Call them up, explain that you were an offer holder who missed your grades, one of your grades is being reviewed, would you accept me with ABC grades for this course, pending the change of grade following review.
