Hi everyone,

Thought I'd pose a question here, hoping for some answers from anyone who has applied to SH (or any other firm).

I noticed that SH does not specify a minimum requirement for A-levels on Legal Cheek. However, I'm curious if this holds true based on the experiences of those who have applied.

A bit about me: I studied the IB (which might need translation for the Talent team, so if anyone has experience with this, please share). I achieved 32 IB points, equivalent to 166 UCAS points (supposedly ABB, but oddly shown as BBB on Google). I did receive First Class Honours for my undergrad, but I'm concerned that my secondary school results may pose challenges.

Happy to discuss!
