Request for a board for those gaining a First class degree

[TheSoloPenalty]

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.

naughty

Need one for the stunningly beautiful too 👍🏻

😂

make a request @Babbadoobabbadock :-)

Russell Group only.

Only undergrad? Not sure about that

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

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

This cannot be real 🤮

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

I bought one, does that count?

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

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

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.

😂

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

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

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

Are First class degrees so elusive now?
In my day maybe one or two people per cohort got one !

Oh and don’t forget the MIL whom they have TRIED to be lovely to, but she is just a one-off nightmare.

Do you have to produce a certificate, or is it self-id?

What if you went to a uni that was 1994 group at the time but has since joined the Russell Group? Hypothetically, obvs.

And one for people who put their right sock on first?

Of course it's not real!

How about a board for those of us with only the most beautiful children ?
