Thanks guys

Got the distinction Worry over! Phew x

Thanks for your replies. I've still not heard. Tutor says Examiners are considering it still

Hi, I've worked out my average for my MA is 69.87. My tutor has asked that the Board of Examiner's look to see whether a Distinction can be awarded as a borderline case. I certainly feel that I deserve one (who doesn't hey?!) and my final dissertation was handed in two days before I gave birth to my second baby. (I studied day release whilst working full time and through both my two pregnancies) I know everybody faces challenges whilst studying; many more so than mine, so I'm guessing external cirumstances are not really taken into account. My tutor will not comment on what he thinks the examiners will do so I'm feeling very impatient :-) Does anybody have any similar experiences in terms of the borderline issue? If so, should I be hopeful or not? I was also offered a PhD place on the basis of my marks and references etc but decided not to do it (can't afford it!) Are there any appeal procedures if I am awarded a merit? Thanks in advance. (In the end I'll settle for what I get tbh, its just the not knowing that it killing me lol)
