[QUOTE="average_jo123, post: 147579, member: 15838"] Was wondering how much firms emphasis place on minimum A-level grade requirements? [LIST=1] [*]For example, if I want to apply to A&O which has a minimum A-level requirement of AAB but I have not achieved that and have no extenuating circumstances, will my application automatically get filtered out? [*]I'm assuming that for firms which specifically say that there are no minimum A-level requirements, they will review your application regardless of what A-levels you achieved. But what about firms which do not disclose any position on minimum A-level requirements - what is the general expectation? [*]Does Rare contextual recruitment data feed into minimum A-level requirements at all? Or is that data mainly only used to distinguish between two candidates in marginal cases rather than letting candidates with A-level grades which fall below the minimum squeeze past into application review stage? [*]If I don't have very strong A-levels e.g. have Cs but don't have any extenuating circumstances, does that mean I am automatically at a disadvantage when applying for vac schemes or training contracts? Or are there still other ways to get around this? [*]Is there any set industry standard that all City firms would generally expect re A-level grades or does it really just vary from firm to firm? [/LIST] [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] if you could offer some insight it would be really helpful. [/QUOTE]
