Brief background I was in care from 14 to 17 and therefore to say I was distracted from GCSE's is an understatement. I went on to pass my A Levels and gained BBC.
I now have an academic degree, 2.1 from a good university so I meet all the criteria for the degree I would now like to study but was advised to complete a science access course.
I've applied and written I feel a strong personal statement but am concerned that because DC4 is so young I am not going to perform at my best plus we have some very inconsistent marking going on, lots of team work, projects etc where I am the only person contributing.
I don't want to come across as desperate (which in fact I am, not getting any younger) but equally there are some circumstances which I feel if they knew about they might see beyond my rubbish GSCE's and average access course results.
