Firms that are harsher with grade requirements - list

[student110]

I think it would be helpful if we compile a list of firms that are more stringent with grade requirements. In my case, I have quite an inconsistent grade profile, so am uncertain as to which firms I should realistically apply to! I'll start the list, and would really appreciate if anyone can assist

HSF Kramer - 2:1 in every module (generally).
Slaughters - high 2:1 average; unsure what they think about blips, but unlikely sympathetic!
Davis Polk - high 2:1, but strong pref for 1st

Cleary Gottlieb requires a 68%+ and a minimum of 65% in each module according to their early recruitment team.
Ashurst require a strong 2:1
NRF 67% minimum
LInklaters generally require 60% minimum in all modules

Hey of course,
Cleary from my uni law fair
NRF from grad rec I think it’s in a couple of posts here actually (I think if you’re borderline they’ll be more flexible)
Linklaters from their grad rec virtual events

White & Case (look for a 2:1 on average across university modules)
A&O Shearman (went to their open day grad rec said they look for a 2:1 in every module)
Hogan Lovells (look for a 2:1 across all modules)

Slightly different from the above but still quite strict:
Macfarlanes (grad rec said they look for an overall degree classification of 2:1. you do not have to have achieved this in every module, but the majority must be 2:1)
Clifford Chance (require a 2:1 minimum at university, a strong academic background and would be looking at consistent results across all modules)

Good afternoon,

Where did you receive the information about HL from? I made it through the initial assessment and am about to do the virtual interview, but I had a pretty disastrous first year, with a first overall (non-law). Just wondering if I still have a chance of getting to AC now.

Thanks
