RAF Recruitment

I would be really grateful if anyone could provide me a helpful answer.

I recently applied to the RAF but considering withdrawing my application as I do not meet the minimum requirements.

First: The classic issue of Maths GCSE requirement, I never had maths in my GCSE, but I went on to do a Foundation year program which allowed me to get a B in Maths, further went on to Study Accounting at my undergrad however graduated with a 2.2, Masters and research level (not PhD) (Distinction and Merit respectively). Essentially i have studied and done a lot of work requiring numerical capability and even thought a module with sufficient Mathematics at a Prestigious University.

Second: I am a common wealth national, I have spent a combined 6years and 2 months. However I had a 2 years interval within and have so far spent 2 years and 4 months.

In light of these issues, is my application ineligible? Is it best to withdraw my application?

Just to add, I applied for Logistics officer.
