It's over now, don't worry about it. Start thinking about where you want to go and how you're going to get there.
It's a little hard with the job market at the moment, so don't get too down because of your grade - it's still a good degree and there are many people who'd be happy to have one.

thanks. Im feeling much better about it today! i have a degree after all!! yesterday however, i was gutted!
Get mine on wednesday, sucks that you were only a couple of % of a 2.1
What are the rules these days if you get a borderline mark? I suspect i will get 68/69/70 and just miss a first.
Can you request a remark if you get 69%?
You can request remarks but you have to pay! i know someone who got 69% and had everything remarked and it came back the same
it really isnt worth it. its marked and remarked anyway!
but from a 3rd rate university
Can only take papers which are put in front of him.

Doesn't seem to be particularly bad either.

dont really think much of degrees from crap unversistes - standards aren't the same, one of my friends struggled on Computer Sciense course at Imperial (ie fail 1st year) only to go to UWE and get a 1st!
Oh right, so if UEA is 3rd rate that must make top 20 uni's second rate yeah?

UEA is higher ranked than MMU, where i studied.
who cares who studied where. stop raining on peoples parade. A lot of people have worked hard to get what they've got

Yes everyone is aware that the university matters. But finding someone's post where they get very good results and then effectively going "hah, you go to a rubbish university" is stupid. He didnt say he was better than a 2.1 student from oxford.
Similarly a 1st student from oxford isnt necessarily better than phil.

I get my final results on the 1st of July, cant wait! Think I might have just scraped a 1st, but 100% no lower than a 2:1. Thats in computer science at Hull by the way. I don't really care for the whole institutional elitism rubbish, my course is accredited by the BCS so who cares!
