Re: Law Applicants 2012I have a few friends who are still waiting. I'm guessing that a wave of rejections/offers for Law is on the way, judging by the events of the past week on the applicants thread.(Original post by hockeyislife)
Anyone else still waiting to hear back from LSE? On their site it says March 31st as the last day so I'm not sure what to expect at this point. -

Re: Law Applicants 2012Warwick(AAAc) UCL (AAAe) LSE (AAAe) King's (A*AAa/A*AAA) I think that's it. You should be ok for the majority of the top 20.(Original post by jackclarke1995)
Would anyone be able to tell me roughly how many unis require a 4th AS for the LLB? Is it the majority? Kinda worried now that i'm only doing 3, but I am predicted AAB for them. Obviously I don't really need to worry about it for a few months, but it would be nice to be prepared! -

Re: Law Applicants 2012Personally, I would go with love the course, employment opportunities, league table. However i'm sure other people will be able to give you some much better advice, but in the end its entirely up to you.(Original post by sasha165)

Re: Law Applicants 2012Order of importance to me is firstly the course, it is 3/4 years of your life, it needs to be interesting and fun to you. Second league table, uni wise and course wise, also the importance of the uni, do you like it? (visit if possible, or get in contact with people that go there) then employment opportunities, because the way I see it after you have done law, there is still your masters you can take, there are so many directions you can go to. However do look at internships and ties they have, so you can get workexperience.(Original post by sasha165)

But then also just take your time, make pro's and cons lists and let it sink in. I know how it feels. Out of interest what universities does it concern??

Re: Law Applicants 2012I don't know much about those uni's, maybe things to consider as well is city and try to imagine the life you will be having, and what you eventually wish to do with your bachelor(Original post by sasha165)

Re: Law Applicants 2012I would be surprised if anyone was particularly fussed, seeing as they are asking for an 'e' in it (some of them) I mean with an E you may as well not sit it with respect to Law Schools (that's probably going to get negged)(Original post by jackclarke1995)

You'll be okay as long as you get good grades in the three A2 and they are decent subjects. Incidentally, you could always pick up an AS in you A2 year, but that might detract from efforts to get good A2 grades. I think you'll be alright at most places without it, and if they moan, well then balls to them! -

Re: Law Applicants 2012I think when the schools ask you to get an E in a fourth AS, then obviously the grade they aren't worried about. Perhaps they want to see their applicants with a more than average (3 AS levels) workload and want to you still achieve those 3 As with that extra workload.(Original post by mathsmusicfrench)

Re: Law Applicants 2012I had quite the same problem as you, it was between. Kent, Nottingham and Manchester and I decided to accept Manchester. I made lots of research (about the teachers there-so many nobel winners!;course structure;time table;student life(best ever),clubs(SKUM-pro snowboarding/skiing club!);work placements;every year there are 30 students chosen to go to malaysia and 20 to singapore for a work placement of 2 weeks during the summer break;uni of manchester has so many important manchester firms looking out for its law graduates(not only graduates but actually undergrad students as well); and on top of it all, I have family living near so I'm getting free acc.(Original post by sasha165)
Hi thanks, it's between Sussex, Reading and Manchester
I loved the professor, the program structure and calm aspect of the uni of kent but it is just too calm for me :x
And oh Nottingham, real campus life, but the program structure didn't seem to be right and no free accomodation but on top of it all, they seemed to be too elistic for me, taking days and days to reply to my mails (Bristol took WEEKS), and well I don't know, it didn't look like I would settle nicely there.
I've been to manchester 3 times (I am an international student) and loved it, and know a few people going there(unlike nottingham), I loved the city life, and that just concluded my essay xD -
