[QUOTE="D, post: 12386, member: 540"] Good evening Jessica, I have finished my first year at university and will be applying for vacation schemes in this cycle. I am by no means disappointed with my first year results (I have scored a mid 2:1), however, I did this having worked 20 hours a week during term time, and 40 hours a week out of term (including the revision period). I feel I could have scored higher had I not had to work, but owing to my own circumstances, it was a necessity. Should I mention this as a mitigating circumstance? Obviously, I haven't crashed and burned to the extent where I need to explain away a 2:2 mark, but equally I feel my performance was impaired. I also do not want to devalue the mitigating circumstances section where I know of people who have suffered much more than I. Some advice would be great! Many thanks [/QUOTE]
