[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 96480, member: 2672"] I very much doubt it will have any impact if you went on the get strong A-levels and also go on to get good grades in your degree. Feel free to PM me about your mitigating circumstances. I strongly advise not blaming the school though. That usually comes across pretty negatively in an application, even if it is true. It’s just negativity which is always something to avoid in an application. Given the firm is unlikely to care about your GCSEs , I don’t think much will be gained from doing so either. I don’t necessarily see your poor GCSEs being an advantage though - your explanation for how you ensured your did well in your A-levels coming from a lower starting point could be really positive evidence to put in an application however. Firms like CC that use contextualised recruitment processes are going to see you went to a low performing school and will consider that accordingly using the algorithm. Also be mindful that because you are applying via a programme for disadvantaged candidates means your circumstances might not be that unique/stand out. [/QUOTE]
