    Take a guess how many doctors and dentists you worked with barely passed medical schools, or politicians you voted for still passed with mediocre subpar scores. Hint: not zero.

    You’ll do fine. So stop under selling yourself

        Nope it went to the correct person (you).

        What don’t you understand, so I may elaborate? Apologies, English is my first language and I’m dumb.

          You replied to someone else, and appeared not to know what a 2:1 and a 1st was. I (perhaps wrongly?) assumed you were from a country which used a different system, so I attempted to explain what they were, e.g. they are different grades for honours degrees, 2:1 is not a ratio, it’s what the grade is called, it’s the 2nd highest grade you can receive for a degree, and so on etc

          You then answered with something about doctors and politicians and “underselling myself”, which, as I had not mentioned anything about doctors and politicians or “selling myself”, but had only explained “these are the names of the different degree marks you can get”, appeared completely unrelated to what I had written - therefore I assumed perhaps you were meaning to reply to someone else.

          Sorry if I wasn’t clear.
