Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 217515" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hello [USER=29753]@Mara[/USER] I'm really sorry to hear about your loss - that must have been incredibly hard, especially being stuck abroad during Covid. It makes complete sense that your grades dipped at that time, and it sounds like you've shown incredible resilience by still achieving a solid 2:1 and excelling in so many extracurriculars.From what I know, most firms will take your mitigating circumstances seriously. If you haven't already, it might be worth reaching out to graduate recruitment teams directly to explain the context before submitting an application. Most firms allow you to flag mitigating circumstances in the application form, but if they don't, sending a short email to graduate recruitment explaining your situation could help make sure your application isn't filtered out unfairly. I think that as long as you let graduate recruitment know in some way, they will absolutely take them into account when reviewing your application.Also, don't underestimate how impressive your extracurriculars and leadership experience are, and the fact that you've already has a US firm interview shows you're definitely competitive. Don't lose hope - you've achieved a lot despite really tough circumstances!! Wishing you all the best, and feel free to reach out if we can help at all <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
