Does it really matter what over all grade you graduate with?

    No, you get one chance and there is no such thing as an 'elective repeat'. If you fail something, you can repeat it but it will not change your overall grade.

    Do they still do interviews for those people very close to the First grade? Two of the people in my part-time workplace had interviews to bump their grade up in an interview if they were less than 3% off a First. Two of them got it. None went to DCU though...

    I can't speak for other schools but I know in electronic engineering the external examiner will ask to interview students near a grade boundary. Their decision will usually be based on the final year project and the interview, I don't have any specific information on how near the boundary the student would need to be, I know my class were all informed of this practice and advised to make ourselves available while the external examiner is visiting.
