[QUOTE="JamesSmith312, post: 72243, member: 11662"] Hi, My question is if there is any point in explaining circumstances behind having bad a level grades to city firms when I apply to them. I did the IB and got 32 points with 644 for my Higher Level subjects . I'm at a Russell Group uni and on track for a 1st in a STEM subject but I did extremely bad in my IB exams because of my life at home and the way I was being treated for years . I was given school-mandated counselling for about 2 years but it wasn't making me feel any better and I have written documents from 3 different teachers expressing their concern for me. I know for a fact if I hadn't been in the situation I was in I would have done a lot better in my finals but I can't change that now. I know it would explain everything but I don't know if recruiters would look at it in a bad way, as if I am trying to score sympathy points, but I'm not. I just want to explain that I know I did badly but I know I can do better. Also, if I were to explain the circumstances, how could I do so without looking bad? [/QUOTE]
