Software engineering @ Glasgow university

Hi I’m currently in s6 studying adv higher bio, comp and higher maths. In s5 I done 4 Highers (Human bio, chem, comp and English) and N5 maths i got 3As and 2Bs (Bs in comp and English) I want to apply to Glasgow university for software engineering is it possible that I would receive an offer even though they prefer 6As at the end of s6 I meet the minimum by s5. I’m asking because it says preferably 6As by the end of s6 so if I get 5As by the end of s6 would I still have a chance to get in.

well it does say for the software engineering entry requirements that at advanced higher a B is equivalent to an A at higher so I don't know if that will contribute to the total 6 A's they are looking for but possibly so!
