Long story short, I have managed to go from a completely poor academic background, into a target university. I don't usually share these kind of events, as I hate to draw attention to myself, especially when people may perceive it as "bragging", but I know that many people want to get into the industry, despite not having the best grades, so I am giving some of those individuals an opportunity to see how I managed to pull this one off.
Ask away. (I may not be able to respond to every question, but I will try my best) Eventually I will close this thread, and request a delete.
