Not aware TMUA was required, deadline passed, still possible to get into Imperial?

I was not aware that the TMUA was a requirement for Economics, Finance and Data Science at Imperial. The deadline for the January sitting has already passed. Would Imperial still consider my application without the test result or should I exclude Imperial as an option from my UCAS application?

For reference, I am an IB student and have achieved the IB entry requirements for the undergraduate program.

Looking for answers as soon as possible as I will be applying to UCAS in the upcoming days.

Unfortunately, TMUA is required for that course so applying to Imperial would be a waste of an option as you haven'tfulfilled the requirements. As you most likely know, there are many prestigious schools with similar courses that don't require the exam.

You may be able to argue if you have extenuating circumstances but that seems tough and I didn't see any mention of it and you can always contact Imperial directly if you really want to go.

Don't bother, it will be a wasted choice. No idea how you missed the requirement but that's it for this cycle.

Understood. I honestly have no idea how I missed it. Thought it was an alternative entry requirement option for international students or something of those sorts. No worries, thank you.
