[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 37283, member: 2672"] Generally my advice is: [LIST] [*]Stick to the facts of what it impacted rather than the details of the circumstances. Two people with the same extenuating circumstances, one could be impacted every day of their studies for a year. The next could just be impacted on one set of exams. [*]So explaining when and how it impacted you is more important that what impacted you [*]If these impacted your grades, non-academic references to back up your circumstances are less important than academic references. The best way to get support for lower grades is to get someone who can say they think your grades would have been stronger if the circumstances were not there. [*]You don’t have to declare your medical diagnosis but you can talk about how your medical diagnosis impacted you (eg ability to concentrate, time off from education for hospital admittance) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
