This question was in the Ryerson University Supplementary form - Are there factors that you believe are important/pertinent to the consideration of your applicatio(s), especially in our review of your academic performance at the secondary and/or post-secondary level? If yes, please explain.
Heres what I wrote :
During my IGCSEs I had to face a tremendous amount of inconveniences because of my exam schedule. My exams were either too far apart or had clashed. At one point in it, I was scheduled to have three of my major exams on the same day: Economics, Pure Mathematics - Paper 2 and Business Studies. Now because of the clash, Edexel administrators had made a new exam schedule in order to fit all three papers in one day. However, they did not allow me to leave to my examination site until I had finished all my exams, which started at break of day and ended awfully late at night. Exhaustion and the pressure to give my 110% in all three papers had brought me down both psychologically and physically. Unfortunately this led me being unable to give my best to the Business Studies paper, which resulted in getting a grade lower than I had prepared for. I hope you would be kind enough to take this event into account when considering my application and reviewing my performance at the secondary level.
Comments and criticisms are appreciated
and this answer doesnt make me look weak, right?
