Glasgow university rejection

Hello. I got a rejection from the University of Glasgow very quickly, I think i applied only two weeks or so again. They said that that I didn't meet the academic requirements for the university, but this confuses me slightly, as in previous years the grade requirements for my course (English Literature and History) have been AAB-BBB, and my predicted grades are A*AA. I was wondering maybe if was something to do with my Drama A Level? I do a CAIE A Level in Drama, and Glasgow specify that they accept 'Theatre Studies' as an A Level, but I just sort of assumed it meant the same thing (since I'm pretty sure it is)? Has anyone else had an issue similar in the past?

Thank you! I did just, and suddenly this morning they very quietly changed their rejection and have now given me an offer!

I ended up sending a message on this website: https://www.gla.ac.uk/study/enquire/ and wrote that I had received a rejection and if they could expand on why. They just followed it up with apologising for the mistake. Good luck!!
