[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 142868, member: 2672"] I am not surprised to hear the university's response - it is very common for them not to be able to apply such considerations retrospectively, as it is difficult/impossible for them to quantify how it impacted your studies. I would speak to your personal tutor at the university. They will be the one most likely to provide a law firm with a reference for you regarding your academic performance/contributions to university life, and so they really need to be the one who is aware of the circumstances. They can reference such circumstances in any academic reference provided by the university. Also it sounds like if your MCT was only 25% weighting, there might not be too much of an issue here. Do you know your overall module grade for contract? You wouldn't need to provide a breakdown of the essay grade and the MCT grade for contract, just an overall grade. And if this is still a good grade overall, you night not even need to claim the mitigating circumstances (although you could still reference them in your application). [/QUOTE]
