[QUOTE="givemeaTCalreadyT^T, post: 241960, member: 44033"] Longtime lurker looking for advise: I’m applying for TCs and not studying in the UK. I entered university after a significant gap after high school and only have around 70% at my school leaving exams. This is due to my city having experienced geo-political tensions during my exams, resulting in the loss of a relative. I also ended up not writing one paper as I only needed 5 to pass and had taken another additional subject, which I let go of due to the stress at the time. I took the gap to recover, which was prolonged due to covid. During my gap I worked part time. It’s not an illness or disability so I’m not sure if it qualifies as a mitigating circumstance, not to mention as many have already stated as an international candidate the cards are stacked against me. I don’t meet the A level minimum for a lot of the firms I want to apply to, so I’m genuinely asking whether I should even try and if so, how to explain the situation well and if I even have a shot. Please advise, thanks! [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER] [USER=42112]@Abbie Whitlock[/USER] [/QUOTE]
