right- so for A levels- the MC want:
Slaughter and May: just "good" (vague- dont really know what qualifies as good but sure)
Linklaters: no minimum
freshfields: no minimum
Allen and Overy: AAB
Clifford and Chance: 340 UCAS points
(i'm at a good, non Loxbridge Russel group uni which is pretty good for MC recruitment)
i have A*BB (A in epq)
7A's, 2A*s (at GCSE)
i don't know if this is good enough for the MC, for Clifford and Chance, for instance- they want 340 UCAS points- but i'm on 400- so am i eligible for working there, same with Freshfields, Linklaters, and Slaughters, even though there is "no minimum"- is there a practical/expected one- similar to how Oxford PPE doesnt officially require maths- but the vast majority of candidates do have maths- so even though they say "we don't look at A levels"- the bulk of candidates will be AAA+ because they actually do filter on this as a more implicit rule?
also i saw A&O ask for "AAB or equivalent"- is this referring to other grading systems like International Baccalaureate, or equivalent in UCAS points- to which i'm over the requirement.
basically, am i pretty much unable for the MC based on my pretty average grades?
(also whilst im here- are A-levels an actual consideration, or is it just a filter- basically, do firms actually hire someone over someone else because that person did better in A levels?)
