Is extenuating circumstances be possible in this scenario?
Is extenuating circumstances be possible in this scenario?
First to start of, I have been a great student in my opinion, attending all lessons and have been performing very well before my conditions came out of nowhere, psoriasis, because of this my mental health has been impacted greatly during my GCSE period in year 11. All my white shirts and pillowcases and have been stained with my blood and it has been a difficult period with multiple trips to doctors, along with numerous blood tests and tropical creams which seem to never work. I have been given a okay-ish GCSEs (8777766655) thowever I know I could've better if my circumstances have allowed. My A-level predicted is A*A*A*A* for maths, Econ, geography and further maths.
Would this count as extenuating circumstances? My school is also aware of this.
My goal is UCL, Warwick, LSE, KCL for pure economics.
Due to being on biologics, my condition has improved in the beginning of year 12 so I had a pretty normal lifestyle with no pain or signs of bleeding and was able to study in peace now.

It certainly seems something that your school should mention.
(I have psoriasis, though thankfully nowhere near as bad as you.)

YES.
Make sure that your school mentions this in your UCAS reference, and that they explain briefly the impact that its had on your studies for both GCSE and A level.
And check the 'extenuating/mitigating circumstances' process at each Uni you will be applying to - google and if you can't find it, email their admissions team and ask. There is usually a separate form that you / the school need to complete and then send direct to each Unis at the same time as you submit your UCAS application - example : Extenuating circumstances | Study at Bristol | University of Bristol

Unfortunately the exam board would only give a maximum of 5% extra marks on your paper(s) if this was the case after sitting, or average out the paper with others you had done to get marks if you had missed it and had a doctors note as evidence on the same day.
