[QUOTE="Daniel Boden, post: 29838, member: 487"] Put it this way, if you don't apply you have no chance of making it through to the next stage but if you do apply then there is a chance. That's how I tend to look at these things. I'd also recommend getting in contact with the firms that interest you and asking them for their advice directly. Like you, I can't exactly prove my mitigating circumstances with paper evidence per se but I can offer a reasonable explanation as to why my grades look a bit odd when comparing the rest of my academic results. Some firms accept this and as a result of my otherwise good grades and strong extracurriculars and work experience have invited me to interview whereas others, because they prefer academic consistency across the board, haven't but such is life. Rejection is inevitable but as I have said many times before and will no doubt say many times in the future, you lose absolutely nothing by sending in an application :) [/QUOTE]
