Do you have a decent reason for getting the 2.2? I would expect you probably could do. Automated application systems might reject you because of the 2.2 so you're probably best calling HR and talking this through with each of the big 4 seperately. Good luck!
I just had a really bad last year, I got 2.1 in both of my first years and also only missed 2.1 overall by 1%. I am not necessarily interested in big 4. Would I have shot at the slightly smaller companies
A lot of smaller firms wil take you if you can prove yourself. I know Grant Thornton used to take 2.2 as a minimum requirement, don't know if they still do (look on their website). You can still get into big 4 but it's a real stretch- they have plenty of 2.1 and 1.1 to choose from.
Don't let your 2:2 stop you from applying! As Redsuperted said, give HR a call before applying and send in your application!
