For one, his grades are good but not amazing. Imperial gets thousands of applicants. If I had to choose between someone with comparable grades and no conviction and someone with a conviction. I'd pick the other guy every single time.
grade relevant? i heard he got (or was on track to get) 4As at A-level in any case

i'd like to know the exact nature of the crime itself - what were the exact facts of the case? was it premeditated? what was his situation? was it out of necessity, or peer pressure? what was it that was burgled (if anything at all)
