[QUOTE="cxcxcxz, post: 116524, member: 23211"] Hi all, I am planning to apply for vac schemes in September and I just finished the year two of my bachelor degree. My grades this year are not good (I'm expecting low 2:1) but its largely because I got COVID twice during my revision and exam period. Both times I had really disruptive symptoms. However, I do not have a doctor's note or whatever because I tested using the home test-kit and my GP told me to take paracetamol and don't go to the practice. My symptoms weren't severe enough to get hospitalized so I stayed at home and didn't ask for any medical help according to NHS advice. I was wondering, in this case, can I write COVID in my mitigating circumstance to explain my bad grades to the commercial law firms? will they ask for medical proof (that I will not be able to provide)? and are big commercial firms actually considerate of these types of mitigating circumstances?
