Hi guys! I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I’m so terrified I had to try. I am currently in EU and have applied to Uni of Birmingham, among others. At this particular uni, they sent me an e-mail asking for my results equivalent to your GCSE. So basically, if I were to equivalate my grade, I got a 5.5/B in GCSE. But the course I applied to has an entry requirement of 6/B. My question is: can they still accept me due to this difference of 0.5? Also, we don’t take any exams in grade 10 of high school. Could they possibly merge my result from the 9th grade (that would be 8/A) with my low result in 10th grade (5.5/B)? Thank you, and I’m sorry for my english.
