I am doing DofE Gold, and I started last year on my 16th bday (July) Because it takes 18 months to complete the program, I will not be finished until Jan '13, and after talking to the EAP people at UNSW, they said I am not eligible for the bonus points, because I will have not completed the program before the deadline for applications (14th December). Is there anything I can do about this, as it is not my fault that I am young...I have done all that I could.
