Graduate Application

I have recently completed my degree (Gained a first), during my final year i was told i have dyslexia and was told that this may have effected my previous education. Should i detail this as a disability on my application and as extenuating circumstances as to why i have not acheived exceptional results (pre-university education). Asked by hellox, 72 days ago

You have just confirmed my thoughts on the matter, Thank You

I think that is a tricky one. Other disabilities do not materially affect your ablity to do banking, dyslexia might well do that, and certainly I cannot see it helping your application. Since you have clearly pushed past it, my judgement is to leave it off the CV.
