[QUOTE="FutureSol, post: 212174, member: 40728"] Hi, I initially went to university (non-RG) in 2018 after finishing secondary school abroad in an American school and doing the SAT (American university exam). I did a Foundation Year at uni (2018), did one year of Computer Science before deciding I hated it (2019), and took a gap year during COVID (2020). Will this be a problem when applying? After this, from 2021-2024, I did a History degree and got a 2:1 overall. The problem is that, for various reasons which could be mitigating circumstances, I had to resit 2 modules in my foundation year (2:1), and one module in my first year of Computer Science (2:2). Neither of these affected my degree outcome with History. I did however have to resit one module in my first year of History because I missed the exam date, but that also did not count towards my final degree result. I've also just finished my pGDL exams and expect a Distinction, worst case scenario a high Merit. I also have about 9 months of work experience as a conveyancing paralegal in a high street firm. Do I have to: 1) Note the resits on my TC apps or can I just put my final grades in the modules I resat 2) Include my first year of Computer Science in my application? It's not relevant to my main degree at all and it's a 2:2, which I really do not want to show Thanks [/QUOTE]
