[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 126451, member: 17155"] First off, many congratulations on securing your summer analyst position 👏 I was super impressed by the fact that you have 7 years of experience running your own small business and have held multiple positions of responsibility at uni. I think as Jessica said, targeting those firms with no A-Level requirements (and there are many!) is a good place to start. When you do end up making your applications, I would be very transparent about what exactly your mitigating circumstances were and how they impacted your performance at university. If you try to downplay whatever you experienced, then firms will not be able to contextualise your grades and take your circumstances into account. You don't have to make it a sob story but being honest is super important. [/QUOTE]
