Are people with 2.2s good PHD students?

I've worked in recruitment. I would take a 2:2 student with a good interview and experience like part-time jobs, volunteering, sports, mentoring, society membership over a student with a good interview and a First, but little else to show for it.

Are you someone with a 2.2 and worrying about your own grade and how that might look?

First class Hons
Distinction MA

I see! So why hide behind anon?

I'm talking about phds not jobs

????

A 2:2 doesn't show a lack of skills; why do you think that it does?
What skills and experience do you have alongside your qualifications?

There are loads of good reasons an otherwise excellent candidate might underperform. A 2ii is a useful filtering tool only in conjunction with further metrics. In isolation, it does not tell us much.
BA Hons (I)
MA (D)
PhD (RC funded)
PGCE
PGCHE

So you agree that 2.2s aren't good right?

How come these students with 2.2s are crying here then that they are not able to secure admission into phd programs?

Ask them. But what are your competences that provide you with transferrable skills?

Not true.So competitive now experience will also come into play.

How can 2.2s even pass there vivas? It's not possible?
