Chance of Offers (LAW): LSE, UCL, KCL, Bristol, Queen Marys

Oh, that's ok, then. I might have missed a piece of information in my reply, ie that these are the offer standards for law specifically. As to exceptions, my friend got in with 40 pts. for physics, with his initial condition stated as 41. After a month or so awaiting for their final say, they agreed to let him in. Lucky him!
What a pity I was rejected after the interview. It would be nice to study there, nevertheless, I am really happy with QMUL's law department after all. It's usually ranked top 3-5 these days, which is not bad considering rankings only. I appreciate the academic staff the most, though. Most of them are renowned UoL/Oxbridge graduates.
One further piece of advice to anyone applying for unis. Go and see universities for yourself. This will save you future disappointments. Open days are a good idea for that. Seriously, knowing your university beforehand is very important. Even though I, of course, would be probably proud now being an Oxford-student if I hadn't been rejected after the interview, I am not sure I would like my college ( St. Hugh's College ), which looked horrible and was located in the suburbs of Oxford, unlike most of the famous colleges.

Again, thanks for your response contractlaw and best regards!

PS What do you study at Oxford? Which college?

You have a good academic record there- particularly strong predictions, so I'm sure you stand a decent chance of getting offers. Out of all of your choices, LSE may be a bit of a long shot due to your lack of A*s at gcse but if you perform well in lnat that could compensate. Best of luck!

i jsut got rejected from lse for law, I had A*A*A* and 6A* 4A at Gcse, so ye..

The offer for 36 and 24 was for law (the 24 was Law with Europe whateverness)
I didnt go to Oxford Law, I am at Lancaster for year 1 and will be doing year 2 and 3 at the LSE.

Thats doesnt mean they're GCSE nazis obviously even I know that they are harsh when it comes to GCSE's but your GCSE's are pretty darn good and people get into LSE with around 4 A*, it just means one other part of your application wasnt that great!

LSE= international student only, that's what they are selling themselves to be.

Is it good or bad?

well to me, no, because i wouldn't even think about LSE.

Why wouldnt you choose LSE?

Hi, can you explain your situation regarding a transfer to LSE?

If not, it's fine =)

Firstly, new to this...old account...first thread.

If any of you have spare time I would appreciate some input. May seem a bit odd me asking you to assess my situation as it were but meh I need to gain some perspective.

GCSE: 2 A*, 6 A, 1 B
AS: Maths A, Philo A, ClassCiv A, EngLit B
A2 predictions: Philo A*, ClassCiv A*, EngLit A
LNAT taken, results pending
Personal Statement: Medium-Strong (Obviously opinionated)

Uni's applied to for LLB (M100) [a law degree for those who don't know]:

LSE
UCL
KCL
Bristol
Queen Marys

Give me my chances straight, Offers etc. BUT PLEASE BACK UP YOUR CLAIMS! e.g. "My friend got XYZ and applied to ABC and got offers...
*Remember this is for a Law degree, all general input would still be appreciated.

Lastly, thanks for reading and posting.

I applied for law last year, I can't speak in connection with most of those unis, bar Bristol, which I applied to and got rejected from.
GCSEs; 4A*s and 5As!
AS grades: A (Eng lit) A (French) A (Sociology) A (General Studies) C (History)
A2 grades: A* (Sociology) A (Eng lit) A (History) B (French) A* (General Studies) - I didn't drop any!
My personal statement was also Medium to Strong!
What let me down was my LNAT which I truly screwed up with a shameful mark of 13!!!! So I think that could be important. Your grades are good, but I'd be wary of the fact you haven't really got a feasible insurance type uni! xx

LSE= international student only, that's what they are selling themselves to be.

People are saying be cautious with the LNAT, and they're right (didn't work out first time around for me when I applied to 3.)
But I did the same again, and it worked out.

If you're going to apply to a few LNAT unis, make sure you're actually going to do well (i.e. practice, buy a book on it and make sure your essay writing skills are good.)

EDIT: Didn't check the intial date of the OP. Please imagine this post back in the days of yore.

I would have expected you to get a QMUL offer, KCL probably, Bristol probably (dependent on LNAT,) UCL heavily dependent on LNAT (as in, if you didn't get... 30+? I don't think you'd have been given an offer) and LSE I wouldn't have expected you to get an offer (purely because they demand almost perfect GCSE grades from what I've heard.)

Please update this thread at the end of the year with what actually happened though, we'll be able to see what those unis actually look for, because your GCSEs are quite good, A-Level predictions too, so it'll be interesting.

EDIT II: Also, should add, well done on getting into QMUL, if nothing else, you're into a top 10 Law School.

Hey Well I have an offer from QM with A's at AS in English Lit, Economics & Philosophy and Ethics, and a C in History

I'm predicted A*AA, so I'm sure you have a shot I was rejected from UCL for my LNAT, and I've heard quite a few stories about how they are really strict on it...since you have three LNAT universities, it could be risky, but I guess you never know unless you try. I know a girl who holds an offer from Cambridge with ABBB at AS-Level so anything is possible Albeit it wasn't for Law but still, Cambridge is Cambridge

Oh and for GCSEs I have 6A*s and 3 A's, and I haven't heard anything from LSE (most people haven't though so that doesn't really mean anything.)

Snap (on offers and rejections)

Hmn, yeah I guess you're right. It's just waiting time now...Thanks for the encouragement.

Good luck with the rest of your offers.
