[QUOTE="ww_yerim, post: 117364, member: 23578"] Hello, as the title indicates, I am currently in a situation where I got a 2:2 in first year and am worried about how it may affect my future prospects. A few preliminary points: 1) my first year results do not count towards my classification in any way- only 2nd and 3rd year count. 2) These results were a massive shock to everyone, not only myself but also my tutors, to the point where I am in the process of investigating whether there may have been procedural issues in assigning my marks 3) I am at Oxbridge (mentioning this in case firms consider your grades within the context of your institution) 4) I do not have any extenuating circumstances to explain these results Currently my plan is to apply to vac schemes and ofc TCs in 3rd year- short of terrible luck I should do much better in 2nd year (I was, according to tutor reports, on track for a good 2:1 to a first, so unless there's something I'm not aware of my first year result is quite out of character) but of course I am wondering how, should my grade remain the same after the investigation, the 2:2 in first year will be considered within my application, as I think it's important to prepare for such a scenario. Any advice, even if harsh, is much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
