Yes, they do accept this. I have just completed the FY and there were multiple students in my cohort who had done resits.

Your interview and assessment performance will do more for you than the eligibility criteria or really much else. There isn't a whole lot you can do to prepare, but one thing is to just get to grips with talking about different things in an academic way ready for the interview - e.g. interpreting a graph out loud or discussing an object like a pot or artefact. If you are shortlisted for interview, try not to get put out by any mistakes or errors you make - if they correct you, take it under your wing and roll with it as it shows you are teachable. Good luck!
