Hello, I'm currently an MSc student (Biomed Sci Research) applying to a few graduate reasearch assistant posts at various Unis, so wanted a bit of advice!
Many of the job descriptions state that they're looking for people with "a good first degree" or suggest that applicants should generally have 2.1 but ... I have a 2.2. Can I put down my "self-predicted" grades for my MSc on my CV or not, as I think this will definitely boost my applications. I've already got half my grades back and am on course for a high Merit. If I really pull it out of the bag on my dissertation and get 70%+, I'd get a distinction - I'm currently working really hard on it and received good feedback so far, so fingers crossed! Should I be more conservative in pedicting my grades and just put down that I'm expecting a Merit? I'm not going to know my degree outcome for certain until mid-September time, but don't want to wait until then to start applying for jobs!
Any advice appreciated, thanks!
