Deloitte tax graduate scheme - academic requirement confusion

hi, I've been on the academic requirement page and it says they require a minimum of 2.1 for all their programmes. However, in the international table it states for tax if you have 320 ucas points then the requirement is a minimum of 2.2.

Am I right in understanding that if the ucas points are met , then For tax the requirement is a 2.2 ?

Thanks

Link?

Never heard of any of the big 4 accept 2.2 (outside of genuine extenuating circumstances or the PWC inspired talent route).

Tax
22/280 1st any
24/300 2.1 any
26/320 2.2 any

Does seem like they're saying they'll take 2.2s in tax if you have 320 UCAS. Must be new this year. Surprised by that!

Must be struggling to recruit... strange, very strange

Maybe they've finally realised that a 2.2 from certain unis is better that a 2.1 from others.

Sure, but then why not audit too?

Hey its not new its been like that for ages.... but they are actually increasing the academic requirements for the 2015 intake. http://mycareer.deloitte.com/uk/en/university/apply-now/2015acdemics

This is what it is for new tax applicants hoping to join in 2015

300 / 1st
320 / 2.1
360 / 2.2

So now they accept 2.2's if you have 360 (AAA) UCAS from 3 A Levels.

Define ages? I never saw that when I was applying in 2012.

A*AB is also 360 ucas points. Is that okay ?

Yeah I guess A*A*C would be accepted too When you think about it to do that well in your A Levels and to only get a 2.2 in the degree would be surprising ... given the person's high achievement before university. Deloitte Real Estate accept 260-280 UCAS points which surprised me a little.

Doesn't surprise me at all. People with top A-levels go to top unis where it is much harder to get a 2:1. Oxford can't give everybody a 2:1, yet to get in you need A*AA or better...

Why? One presumes it's a less competitive area with less applicants, therefore lower requirements.

Yes that is the reason, its just surprising given the reputation of the organization that the entry requirements are so low to get your foot in the door. Given that some less prestigious organisations ask for alot higher.

I can sort of see your logic but it would only work if they accepted 2.2's from the top uni's as you put it. But in the contracts they give out it doesn't matter if you go to a top uni, these UCAS and degree conditions are flexible and apply to everyone. I should know I have got one.

For example I knew someone who went to my uni (ex-poly) who got AAB, she missed her offer at a russell group and got in through clearing. She technically could just chillax and get a low 2.2 and meet the offer because of her A Level grades. So you can have good grades and not go to a top uni.
