What to put as expected degree classification in graduate scheme applications?
I'm filling out graduate scheme applications and I'm wondering what to put down as my expected degree classification. My degree is weighted 10% first year, 30% second year and 60% third year. I got 70% in first year and 70.2% last year.
I am aiming for a first overall but I have no idea how things will play out this year. Should I just put down a first as expected grade to stand out, or will it look bad if I don't end up getting it?

Put down the first. They'll question why you put 2:1 when you have averaged a 1st in both years.
Offers will likely go out stipulating 'minimum 2:1' before you get your classification anyway and at that point it doesn't matter anymore.
