    It didn't factor into my choice

    The amount of 1st's attained may well have been a factor if there were a lot less awarded in a certain college than in other college.

    It would imply what the quality of education was, Now that I think about it....

    Anyone I know in UCD or Trinner's(roice) seem to be given a shed load more work than people in Maynooth. Has anyone else noticed this?

    What are the stats in terms of % of Firsts awarded in each college?

    I did a bit of a google search but could find nothing only stuff relating to Arts students

    That's ridiculous! So they were basically saying that it's impossible to get over 70%? If they were going to change the marks, that's fine, but have each of the exams independently reviewed by a different examiner and marked as they see fit!

    Yeah, that was my thought as well.
    Thinking more, it was actually 20%, since I actually still walked out with the A (77%).

    I could see their point, since the screenplays were marked at a different standard than every other essay people did for the other seminars. But I agree we should have had another examiner come in and regrade them. I know for a fact there were people who got cut from 70+ down into the 50s who did deserve a higher mark than they walked out with. :/
