will i still get into my accepted course

So basically i got into my first choice uni, university of greenwich, for computer science which i was very happy about since i never thought i would be getting my first choice since i done a Btec level 3 in Business scoring a MMP it was surprising. However prior to this my teacher knew that i done a resit for my GCSE maths and believed i would get a 4 and told me to put down as i passed my maths with a 4(so a lie) but i just got my grades for maths and i got a 3 still. would that mean i wouldn’t get into my course?

Hi,

Firstly, congratulations on getting great result BTEC Business, that's a big achievement. I can see why you'd be worried about your Maths GCSE grade, though. Typically, universities require a pass in Maths for courses like Computer Science, and a 4 is usually the minimum needed.

Since your offer might have assumed that you passed Maths, it's possible that the university could review your application. The best thing to do now is to get in touch with the admissions office at Greenwich as soon as possible. Explain your situation honestly and see if there's any flexibility or alternative arrangements they might offer, like a foundation year or a Maths support course. Universities sometimes have options for students who narrowly miss entry requirements, so it's worth reaching out and finding out what your options are.

You should give them a ring or send an email as soon as possible. Try not to stress too much until you've spoken to them - they might have solutions you haven't thought of.

Good luck!
