Degree Clasification and OASC

Morning Gents (and Ladies),

I have a quick question for you all.

I'm currently at university studying Biochemistry with the intention to join the RAF as a pilot on graduation (aren't we all!! ). I have all the academic qualifications needed for OASC, but I'm concerned about how my degree classification will be viewed. I should get either a 2ii or a 3rd (i.e. not the best).

The way I see it is, I could have worked my ass off, and not had a social/'extra ciricular' life but walk away with a 1st (top) in a degree that I don't intend to use, OR do what I'm doing and split my time between the degree and social/activities, and not get 'top marks'.

How do you think the RAF will view this, I realise it doesn't make me ineligible, but I don't want the RAF to think I've been a lazy sod and not worked. Biochemistry is a hard one, honest!

Ok maybe not a quick question...

Thanks,

(Takes cover for any incoming )
