[QUOTE="elle woods, post: 230328, member: 43292"] I did their First Year Scheme, Open Days, and Inside the Headlines events, and yea heard the same thing - I do have 2:1s but they're just not high 2:1s... I'm assuming when it comes down to cutting numbers, everything is taken into account, and my low grades would be something that could hold me back... I'm actually not sure, I was really surprised to make it onto AOS AC too, but maybe they value different things? Let me copy and paste the generic PFO email HSF Kramer sent: "The key areas we focus on when assessing applications include: Academic qualifications - We expect candidates to have had a strong record of academic achievement through each year at university. We feel it is important that we set these high academic criteria, as a good predictor of success in our professional exams and performance as a trainee. Please note that we do take into consideration any mitigating circumstances that may have affected your academic performance. Skills and achievements, extra-curricular activities, scholarships, prizes, positions of responsibility and work experience. These are important and provide us with evidence of skills such as taking responsibility, motivation and drive, and planning and organisation. These questions also enable us to assess your ability to write clearly and concisely and your attention to detail." [/QUOTE]
