[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 37153, member: 1"] The only thing I'd add to what has been said is that if you are in a situation where you are comfortable telling a firm, I would try to be specific as to what happened and how this impacted your school/university years. Firms will take it seriously and, by adding particular detail, you are giving recruiters the opportunity to fully take into account the circumstances. I say this because sometimes I see mitigating circumstances forms where I candidate has only lightly referenced their circumstances. They were comfortable adding more, they just didn't realise they should, and were relying on recruiters to assume how the situation impacted them. All that said, as has been mentioned, if you aren't comfortable adding detail, that's also completely understandable. [/QUOTE]
