should i apply for eas? h01a (1 Viewer)

i graduated this year and am now only considering applying for eas. last year right before the summer holidays started a family member passed away. i genuinely struggled with home life emotionally and have been put off applying because i just feel guilty, even though that may sound weird. another reason why i didn't apply earlier was because my grades didn't really drop. when i went back to school early this year i did feel depressed and distanced myself from friends but found studying a good escape to distract myself and had the mindset of 'sucking it up.' thus the educational disadvantage would be very small even though i struggled a lot mentally.

as i said i would feel guilty applying and have been nervous asking my family members about this because i'm not sure if they think i'm trying to exploit this so i'm not entirely sure what to do. plus i'm not sure what trusted person at school to ask to fill out a statement because i'm really shy and never actually spoke about my feelings to anyone at school. should i just apply anyway?

if you need the bonus points to get into your course, apply. they won't approve it if you don't have genuine grounds to be eligible upon, so there's nothing to feel guilty about. EAS is there for a reason.
