Hiya gang

I applied ages ago to do a MRes/PhD in Neuroinformatics in Edinburgh and I have had some issues with getting the references through for applying to the course. Had anyone else had about a 2 month wait for references?

I have also applied to do a PhD at my local university and my qualifications are "non-standard" so I will have an issue there. I hope I won't have a long wait to hear back.

On the plus side, I have had an interview for a PhD in the past, so I know I am good enough to get onto a PhD, any hints or tips of explaining to supervisors about learning disabilities wrecking havoc on exam marks. Anyone else having this issue?
