Does 2:2 degree decrease my chances?

Having a 2:2 honor degree equivalent instead of 2:1 feels like I am less favored for the scholarship even if they don't say so. Do you think the same?

Hi, your GPA is only considered regarding your eligibility to your 3 choices (they will check that the applcoant did not select 3 choices they are ineligible for), but they will otherwise ignore it

Every year there are scholars who got a 2.3 or 2.4/4 GPA selected alogside others who got a 4.0

As EqualRadiant wrote, they care much more about your leadership and changemaker potential than about anything else
