Firstly:    the thing to remember, is that no education is ever wasted!!!! and she really ought not to be disappointed because no-one and no situation is ever perfect 

Tomorrow is another day ………..

Thank you all for your kind words and congratulations for DD.

She's got over the initial disappointment now - went into Uni yesterday and had a chat with Student Services.  She has to e-mail the lecturer in charge of exams and gradings for her school within the Uni as 'having another look' at her result is a possibility and she can't lose (she's nowhere near the cusp of dropping to a 2:2, obviously, so the only answers can be her grade amended to a First, or stay at a 2:1).

She's got a few 'irons in the fire' at the moment, so fingers crossed she gets some good news job-wise soon.

Will your daughter be disappointed if the Degree isn't upgraded?

Time to get into the Big Bad World  ......... tell her to enjoy what ever arrives!

Not now CLKD - she's accepted the 2:1 if that's what it stays at, but she feels that she has to 'give it a go' to get it relooked at as she is so close to the boundary.  I think she feels she really would be letting herself down if she didn't make this last effort.

But she knows that the 2:1 is a good degree - the organisation she is in the midst of applying for only needs a 2:2, and in all her job searching she's not seen one vacancy require a First.  So she knows that a 2:1 is not going to close any doors to her.

Is she excited at the prospect of taking a job?

[Scampi]

Very - especially if the one with the long-winded selection process comes to fruition!
