    second year grade results (another one...)

    Thank you so much for this! It makes a lot of sense, provides hope, and really puts things into perspective. I’ll make sure to complete the mitigating circumstances form properly as well. I appreciate the encouragement to apply broadly and to leverage the holistic review approach!
