They will have read your personal statement, so you have probably been rejected based on that.
If the reject reason specifically says "didn't meet requirements, withdrawn or course closed" then it is worth contacting them to clarify. I would also check your spam/junk folder to make sure you haven't missed a request for a portfolio or other info.

So by entry requirements, they went off my personal statement then?

Then it is worth contacting them to clarify. But just bear in mind that it could be the rejection reason was the error, and not the rejection itself, (IE they could have rejected you but then selected the wrong reason).

You can use the UOAL portal to contact them.

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind. The reason was quote “Your actual or predicted results do not meet the minimum entry requirements for this course”. So there is a possibility that this was just an option in the list they accidentally chose.
