But I am going to say no on behalf of the council letting him in due to "potential".

Anakin had potential at 10 and wasn't (originally) going to be allowed in despite the fact that his midichlorian(Sorry if I spat that word) count was through the roof. As such if a Tattooine lad with a clean history can't get in I doubt a Trandoshan who is slightly older (In Galactic Standard) who has a seedy past can get in. The only real reason Anakin finally got back in was due to the revelation of the return of the Sith and he had a massive battle to prove himself in.

Also Obi-wan was going to do it whether he was allowed to or not.
