[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 130382, member: 17155"] I have loved reading your introduction - your candour comes through instantly! I was jotting down these points as I read through so that I was sure that I hadn't missed anything in my reply. [LIST=1] [*][B]Many firms do not consider GCSEs and A-Levels anymore[/B]. Those that require these grades from you must be told about your hip-related health issues and the impact of this on your high school education. This is important context without which firms will not be able to bridge the gap to understanding why your high school grades were low. [*]Even though your undergrad grades are good (a 2:1 is generally a standard requirement however some firms may look for a high 2:1), I would still [B]clearly mention the circumstances around losing your loved ones during your undergrad studies[/B]. This will help firms understand your unique challenges and weigh your grades appropriately by keeping this background in mind. [*][B]This is not a pipe dream[/B] - getting a TC is absolutely doable if you're careful about filling out applications with all the contextual information necessary to explain your grades. The application process is kind of like a symphony of sorts - its success depends on how well[I] all[/I] the different types of effort you put into different parts of the process complement each other. So your grades, despite being important, won't alone dictate your success at any point. [*][B]Your life experiences [I]and [/I]your work experience are your strengths[/B] - ensure that you give them the requisite attention and talk about them with great attention to detail so that firms can truly [I]value[/I] all that you bring to the table. And trust me, you bring a lot! [/LIST] I do hope that you keep posting here and updating us on where you are with applications and what stage of the process you're focusing on at any given point in time. There's a lot of support and insight that our community has to offer and by posting here you make yourself available to receiving this. I wish you the very best - you have 100% got this! 💪🏼 [/QUOTE]
