[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 180400, member: 2672"] I wouldn't say it is a binary as US vs UK firms. For instance, at least two of the MC firms do not have any A-level criteria (Freshfields/Clifford Chance). Of those that do, some also have a contextualised recruitment process as well. Some US firms will be strict on their A-level requirements and can afford to be with the number of applications they receive. However, some US firms have no A-level criteria as well. You can find a fairly comprehensive list of those that do and those that don't here: [URL]https://www.chambersstudent.co.uk/law-firms/getting-a-training-contract/application-and-selection-criteria[/URL] I would also check the language used by firms in their marketing materials. If a firm states you must have obtained something, that is pretty clear it is a minimum criteria. Alternatively, if the firm uses language like "we typically look for" that suggests some flexibility.
