In my contract it says in the background check they may check my grades - if my cv said I have a 1:1 (70%+) but my grades this year turn out to be a 2:1 (68%/69%) would they rescind my offer?

Yep, can confirm this will be the case

 

To keep quiet and hope they don’t ask for a transcript. I know people who have done this and it worked out.

Edit: I’m just assuming here that you lied about your overall GPA. If you haven’t actually lied, then you’re probably fine either way. Still no need to jump the gun. Good luck hustla 

 

Did you have a 1:1 when you sent your resume in? On the US side it's not a big deal if your grades drop below the cutoff as long as they were accurate when you recruited. May be different in the UK but would be surprised if they're holding to two different standards

Obviously he didn't
