[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 220415, member: 42112"] Hello! Your first set of A-Level's shouldn't hold you back too much with most firms, especially since you have shown strong academic progression - going from resits (AAB) to a 2:1 from a Russell Group uni and a Distinction on the PGDL. Many firms focus on your final grades and overall trajectory rather than early results, and some firms won't have any minimum A-Level requirements at all! You can briefly mention your resit to show honesty and resilience, but place the emphasis on your improvement, strong recent academics, and quality work experience at top firms. Given your overall strong academics, background, and work experience, I don't think they'll hold you back! :) Best of luck with your applications this year! [/QUOTE]
