[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 191909, member: 2672"] If it is clear there is an improvement in grades this will be taken into consideration. I can't say that A-levels and your undergraduate degree will be completely discounted though - that is five (or more) years of education compared to only two years of your GDL and LLM. It is also tricky if you are also asking them to discount the good grades you did achieve during the pre-diagnosis period. This is why it ultimately comes down to explaining how your circumstances impacted you rather than just claiming them. It also means that firms have to rely on the other evidence on your application form more, and particularly things like assessments that assess intellect, like Watson Glaser tests, so you have to be mindful that you may need to demonstrate strengths elsewhere in the application.
