If I got a 2.2 i would cry my eyes out I would be so happy

This video has definitely cheered me up, I also received a 2:2 this year and was so gutted so upset because I was expecting more and with my family as well I didn't want them to be disappointed coming from an African household, but I've just been putting my trust in God knowing that something bigger and better is out there for me! Thanks for this video :)

We're saying that a 2:2 or below dooms you to have a shite career. Your point does not disprove this.

I know this is a couple years on so not sure if you’ll see this, but I recently got awarded a 2:2 and I’ve been devastated ever since I got the news. Watching this video and reading the comments of people who have been in the same situation is beyond inspiring.

It's crazy how much is on getting a 2.1. Good to see you sharing positive opportunities with the 2.2.

I got a 2.2 for my engineering degree just now. I have a graduate job lined up after graduation with a top engineering firm. honestly not only me but also everybody I know my friends, colleagues and even the teachers were shocked with my grades as I was hitting the distinction grades with all my work till I completely bombed the final exams :'( currently doing an appeal as I had a death of a family member and also had an emergency surgery just before the run up of the final exams to say please gimme another chance as I'm capable of a 2.1 less than 2% away just that I'm really disadvantaged when it comes to the exams because we are pressed for time. end result, appeal was refused and the job withdrew my application. I was somewhat suicidal after all I did work hard and still never made it. its the first time I've failed in my life but well like you say I have some friends who got 2.2's and still got jobs afterwards so its not the end of the world. I hope I find something really quickly and be able to kickstart my career like you too. thanks for the inspiration video

Sorry but how was your appeal refused if you had surgery?? Death of a family member I understand they can be harsh about if it is not immediate family but did they specify why the surgery wasn't a valid reason? I appealed my grade on previously undisclosed extenuating circumstances and it was a mix of things that happened in my first and final years that I couldn't disclose at the time basically my mother had cancer and so it affected my state of mind but I doubt I will be accepted after hearing u say that? I was 1% off 2:1

@shix1Resolve

+BabyDollyxo I honestly thought they would have maybe at least let me get an opportunity to do the exams especially since the surgery was on my writing hand to repair a broken wrist. the death was an immediate family member, all issues were recorded and supported with evidence too. and a letter from the doctor was given too to support that I was not even fit enough during the exams. even had letters from the consultant too confirming what was done during the surgeries. The reason they gave was I should not have attempted the final exams and I should have said beforehand. They would have considered it by letting me do the resit as my first attempt in august simply for this reason they did say that they are sympathetic as they do feel it may have affected my performance this year but simply now its whats done is done. In all honesty under such circumstances I feel I did good. Honestly when doing an entire year so well and working hard to overcome hardships, it was hell in the end, I was seriously heartbroken at the time and stressed as fuck during the exams I got pissed off when I heard their response to my appeal. and now my mentor, project supervisor, lecturers, friends, simply everybody that I know are using all their contacts to get me a good job/course or simply support.

I got some pretty disappointing news about my degree two days ago and have felt pretty down about it but really thank you for making this video, you're a blessing xo and I love the accent and energy so I subscribed!

A 2.2 isn't the end of the world, experience is more important these days and even getting freelance work helps towards your career. However a 2.2 can be harder for people that want to go into a masters program, many schools require a 2.1 or higher but on the other hand having experience and a 2.2 is equally sufficient. Getting experience is hard for everyone no matter the grade... we are all in the same boat, trying to find work and experience within the field your looking for. I've had to work boring jobs whilst freelancing on the side, I started an internship in January 2015 and then went on to work as a digital touch up artist for a month, I applied for a masters degree in February and will officially start the course in 2016. Best of luck everyone, great video Emma :-)

I’m so confused on this part, and I’m not sure whether I should go with this masters degree or not. It is Msc in Finance and economics.

Getting a 2:2 was the worst thing that ever happened to me but I think it depends on your subject. From 3 as at a level to a 2:2 in economics from a top ten uni. I had an internship lined up in investment banking which bombed because of covid-19 in 2020. Then I was extremely disappointed and other things around me my life was a mess and I didn’t hand in some coursework in my final year and my grade average bombed. I had to work my ass off for my finals and got between 60-80%, and was .5% away from a 2:1 and despite appealing I was not awarded. Pretty much every finance job wants a 2:1. I applied for generic grad jobs and can’t get past the assessment center stage and they reject me because I don’t have enough passion for the role, which is true I didn’t study economics to get a job in sales or recruitment. I’m now almost a year out of uni and have been applying for every grad job I can and worry about being homeless soon. So yeah 2:2 is the worst thing that has happened in my life.
