Need help don't know what to do anymore

So I'm currently resitting my A levels, having achieved CCE last year in maths, cs, and physics respectively. I currently have an offer from Sheffield University to study cs with a contextual offer of ABB. However, after deciding I was too unprepared for cs, I panicked and decided to withdraw, knowing I was going to get the same grade or even worse. That leaves me with just two A levels to resit, maths and physics. On their website, they state that they "take additional consideration for those who received contextual offers on results day." I'm confident I can get an A in maths and maybe a B in physics, but I've honestly lost all hope and don't know what to do. Would I just get automatically rejected since it'll only show I took two A levels this year? I also can't bring myself to contact them with the fear of getting a reply that I don't want to hear. I'm so lost and don't even know what to do anymore.

I'll say you contact them No is also an answer. At least it gives you clear mind of what steps to take next. All the best.

A CS degree at a leading Uni, with grade C in A level CS - unlikely, but the only way to find out is to contact them. You need to tell them that you are not taking the other A levels anyway - and you need to tell UCAS :
