Request for a board for those gaining a First class degree

Hi Mumsnet

Following on from the high earner's board request...

I’d like to propose a new message board dedicated to those of us who have achieved the elusive first-class degree. We need a place to gather and share our tales of academic glory and partake in intelligent conversation without having to wade through threads created by the undereducated.

And don’t forget they tend to be hit on by men all the time.

Show quote history

… as do I btw, so that reaction is not pique either provided we can cast back twenty years or so

I got a 2:1 at undergraduate and a first at post-grad, where do I go 😥

Wondering the same - 2:1 undergrad but MSc with distinction.

And yes I have a First so my reaction isn’t pique

Everyone on Mumsnet has a First. And a stunning daughter and a son who is at least 6ft tall.

Good one OP!

I know you're joking but all the millions of micro-focused sub-boards kind of depress me. Surely the point of a chat forum like MN is that you get to chat with people who are different from you.

But what if posters got their First from a shudder ex-polytechnic?

It really needs to be Oxbridge firsts only, Imperial by exception.

I bought one, does that count?

This cannot be real 🤮

You could call it ‘Geoff Hursts Only’ or ‘Not for the Trevor Nunns’?

Only undergrad? Not sure about that
