<p>What is extenuating circumstances? Actually, the question is more like what defines extenuating circumstances? I understand if your parents had a cold for 3 months, thar would not count, but what will count?</p>
<p>tell me what's yorus and i'll tell you true or false. :D</p>
<p>well... extenuating circumstance really depends. For example, I know one of my friend's dad had a tumor and the dad was out of work for 7 months, which had a significant effect on the family's budget and etc. Basically, it has to be and illness, or whatever that had an effet on the family and prevented you from doing your best.</p>
<p>in other words: Life's obstacles</p>
