[QUOTE="MeWantTCPlz, post: 220018, member: 12694"] Hi everyone, I have a question regarding my university grades and how this factors in for applying to firms. My official degree classification is a 2.1, however my breakdown percentage is a 58%. My university does not calculate the official percentage and so that number isn’t present on my certificate or transcript. For the overall result section it just says 2.1. Therefore, when applying to firms that ask for breakdowns (my 1st and 2nd year grades aren’t great but I picked it up in my final year and secured a 2.1), what should I do? I know I should rule out MC/US firms. Am I okay to apply to firms with a 2.1 requirement? What do I do if they ask for a percentage even though my official grade/classification is a 2.1? Do I just put N/A? For further context: I have solid work experience. I have completed a vacation scheme, interned with another international firm for 6 weeks and completed an AC for a TC based on my performance with them, and completed other corporate experience too. Will this outrank the low percentage? [/QUOTE]
