For those interested, I've just received an email back which said that for offers that require you to gain a 1.0 in your final year, this refers solely to your grades from your final year of study. So in practical terms, as I received strong second year results I could receive an average of around 64 from my third year results and still receive a First class score overall but would not meet the terms of my offer. To my mind this makes absolutely no sense. My university gives me an overall degree classification that is an average of my second and third year results but other factors are considered when deciding the threshold score for a First Class classification. How, then, will Cambridge determine whether my third year results are first class results? Will they apply my university's view on what degree classification those results would be (even though my university would not specifically state what classification my 3rd year results are, they'd just give me an overall classification averaging my second and third years) or would they apply their own standard as to what a first class percentage score would be across my final year modules, which doesn't entirely seem fair. This really seems quite confusing to me so was wondering what any of you guys thought?
