Grades on Application

    I am applying for an job at one of the big firms and on their online application they ask me for my LC and my results for each module I did in college including my repeats.

    The problem is I only got 330 in my LC and my 1st and 2nd year results in college are pretty bad especially my 1st year results as I had to repeat 5 exams and I still had to use compensation to pass them.

    In 3rd year I got a 2.2 and in 4th year I got 59.5% over all so just about got a 2.1.

    I know I wont be called for interview once they see my results and I was half tempted to dock my results but then if they ask for a transcript I will be screwed.

    What should I do?

    firstly, i would nt suggest you alter your results.

    it seems to me that your results got better as you advanced through college and you could use this fact to explain that you became more serious and focused on your studies as you progressed.

    Yeah, In an online application I filled out recently I had to submit my results. I was subsequently asked for an original copy, which no problems as I hadn't altered them.

    Sorry I should have worded that completely different like I know if I docked my results I would be caught out as most places ask for transcripts.

    What I really wanted to know is how will make my application look better seeing that I have such poor results?
