    do london universitys mind exepting people with past mental health problems
    Hi,i'm currentley doing igcses via the national extention collage and i also plan to go on to do alevels with them too. I didnt do gcses as i wasnt at school because i had problems due to my emotionaly unstable personality disorder ive now recovered, but i'm still on sertraline and i was wandering if when i apply to university in the future, if they would turn me down because of my past and the medication i'm on?

    They aren't allowed to, and won't, discriminate against you because of your medical background. You also don't have to disclose it in the first place, though I would recommend you do as University's are generally very supportive when it comes to mental health issues and they would be able to put any necessary support in place for you. Good luck with your application!
