    Yeah, I figured. I mean, it takes a mean score of 80%-90% ( depending on the dept. ) to continue to Graduate studies here.

          You need a 2:1 to get into a PhD here (unless you get to the real ****ty universities). The grading is different from most of Europe (where I had 81% on my high school baccalaureate and was in the top 10%) to say Manchester University (where I had 68% and finished in the top 5%). I don't think anyone I knew in my course scored higher than 76% and that's from someone with 3 published papers in her undergraduate days.

          As for the meeting, not sure anymore, turns out there's a Regatta that weekend. I'll see if we're racing only on Sunday, or Saturday as well.

                I barely scraped a 2:2 but it didn't seem to matter too much. I did Physics with Astrophysics rather than some mickey mouse arts course though.

                      Providing you flirt with Stew, yes.

                        There's a very fine line between flirt and disembowel.

                          I'm sure no one will quibble if the line is a little bent.

                            Grading is weirder at some Uni's. My brother's course (maths at cambridge) a first is 1000 points. The top this year was 2100ish (my brother finished 8th with 1500ish). If you get everything fully right, I think you can get over 3000. It's a weird system, because everyone takes the same papers, no matter which courses you took, and you answer any questions you want (so the more courses you went to, the more questions you can answer). To carry on he needed a first or a high 2:1 and some excuse why he didn't get a first (his girlfriend got a 2:1 but aced her practicals for physics, so was allowed to stay on).
