GeorgEGNT,
I struggle to believe that, explain the circumstances and they'd be an idiot to chop you because of that unless if somehow dropped you below the minimum. Bare in mind that I don't have 3 A-Levels and I don't have a degree (YET) and I don't have the academic equivalent. I do have SOMETHING different which they have looked at and accepted so I think they are more flexible that people seem to think.
