Hey guys, would really appreciate your insights
Results were released on Monday (Suicide Monday as its known here) and I've got a MEng (Hons) 2:2 in Engineering. I was on a 4 years Master course, a norm in the UK where you can start an undergrad degree and graduate with a MEng (honours) at the end of it.
I flunked my 3rd year by failing half the subjects. I was able to proceed after resits but keeping the original marks which were absolute crap. Worked my ass off in 4th year so pulled the average up from a mere Pass > Thirds to this 2:2.
I'm asking this question now because most graduate schemes state a minimum of 2:1, so will it still be worth my while applying ? Has anybody else been in this predicament ?
If it means anything, I was pretty active throughout my time at University, ie: was chair of 2 societies and was part of the university sport squad.
TL;DR : Got a Masters (Honors) in Engineering and it was 2:2. Good university, was active in Student Union and sports. How shit is my degree compared to a 2:1 ? Will companies sieve me out just because of a 2:2?
frankly speaking NOPE...recruiters do not look at ur grades...wat they are more keen is the experience tat u hav...for fresh grads...the thing tat most ppl will look 4 is ur industry....n then as fresh grads dont have working experience...they will be shortlisted after interviews....tats the thing tat matter most...interviewResults were released on Monday (Suicide Monday as its known here) and I've got a MEng (Hons) 2:2 in Engineering.
