I am a MRes student, at near distinction level (though its hard to tell with only a few marks back). Though i fear i wont get a PhD studentship because of my undergrad 2:2 (hence why im doing the masters). Despite glowing references, i fear that any biomedical research group looking at my cv will cast me out of hand.

any kind words or help?

Hi, from experience it doesn't matter if you have a 2.2 if you have a masters, especially if you have a distinction so don't worry about it! Sell yourself in interview, explain why you only got a 2.2 and why you are good enough to do a PhD and you'll be fine!

Still nothing yet, no rejections, but no offers of interview
