[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 192642, member: 36777"] I do not have any specific information but I would not be surprised if this were the case, as Sullivan & Cromwell is part of this particular category of so-called 'traditional' white-shoe NY firms, some of which are said to be quite focused on academics (such as Cleary Gottlieb, Davis Polk, and Debevoise). In On its [URL='https://vault.com/company-profiles/law/sullivan-cromwell-llp']Vault page[/URL] (which centers on US-recruitment but may also be indicative of wider recruiting philosophy), an associate is quoted as saying that [I]"the hiring committee heavily focuses hiring decisions on grades[/I]". On the [URL='https://www.sullcrom.com/Careers/Offices/United-Kingdom/U.K.-Trainee-Solicitors-Programme']firm's UK recruitment page[/URL], there is once again an emphasis on academic excellence [I]"The Firm seeks trainees who have strong academic credentials (including a projected or achieved First or Upper Second Class honours degree, or equivalent) and an excellent prior academic record[/I]". While the 2.1 is mentioned as an example of "strong academic credentials", I suspect a low 2.1 is more of a minimum result you need to be considered rather than what the average grade a successful candidate will have.
