potentially missing my uni grades for my fulltime offer
Hi guys, basically I have a full-time offer having converted a summer internship at BB (front office). When I got the offer they asked me to predict myself a grade which I had to get in my finals exams and they said it could be as low as I wanted. Foolishly, I said 2:1 as I wasn't expecting how this year would end up panning out. I go to a top uni in the UK (think Oxbridge/LSE/Imperial) and I'm really worried that I will end up with a 2:2. Having said that, I could also equally end up with a 2:1. Would it be a good idea to contact someone at my bank and ask them to change my grade offer and explain to them the circumstances behind the change (personal issues) or is this not a good idea. Thanks in advance!
Does your uni not have a no-detriment policy this year?
Unfortunately not, our entire grade depends on our final year exams
I thought it was the standard for FT offers to just have a 2:1 requirement as a given? Very weird that they asked for you to basically make your own offer requirement
Anyways, if you're fairly certain you're going to get below a 2:1 then yeah it's better to do damage control now and let them know why there's a possibility you won't get it. If you're just a bit nervous but still in good stead to get the 2:1, I'd say just wait till you get your results and if it's indeed lower then explain your case then, or as I've seen in a few cases, they may just let you continue on regardless with no questions if they need you.
