This has probably/definitely been asked 100000 times but here we go. I'm currently in the process of looking/applying for funded PhDs in the UK. I have a strong First Class BA(Hons) and I'm currently undertaking my MSc thesis. However, certain things this year have meant that some of my grades aren't what I had hoped for and I feel I may just miss out on a distinction for the MSc. Currently I have module grades of 59,63,78,81,85 one is currently unknown but I'm hoping for high 60's or low 70's and the final chunk is my thesis. I think you can see which modules did not go to plan.

So I'm wondering what are the chances of me getting funded if I end up with a high Merit but with what seems to be a bit of a staggered grade profile.
