Law Applicants 2012

Thatss fine! i loved it everything is on campus the halls are like five minute walks and there all next to each other theres a bank shop and doctors its very green aswell (which i love im not a city girl) and theres lots of sports facilities its clean and they are building even more accom for 2012 the halls were brilliant to the kitchen was hugee and each room is en suite with a big bed ive put it as my first choice :P

yeah like everything so close thats kinda what i want from a uni sort of to be surrounded by students!
ive applied to
reading (incase you couldnt guess :P)
Sussex
Surrey
Portsmouth
UWE Bristol

where have you applied too?

Nice one.

PS. to the person above who mentioned QMUL open day, I believe you are invited on an open day when you get an offer, it is simply that UCAS takes a bit of time to update.

If I do pick Reading, then my choices would be..

Reading
Sussex (Changed from Southampton, as apparently I qualify for the Progression Accord scheme)
UCL
Warwick
Queen Mary

really? WAHOOO doubt ill get a*aa though.....haha

Wow congratulations. I want to apply to QM as well but I haven't handed in my application yet. Does that mean the majority of places are filled as the open day is this soon?

im not sure tbh- i reckon they will hold more than one open day so don't worry!

Anybody applying to Leicester and Birmingham?

Yes to both I got an AAA offer from Leicester a few weeks ago.

Anybody applying to Leicester and Birmingham?

Oh wow CONGRATULATIONS ! I'm so jealous! My Ucas was sent off today fingers crossed I get an offer too! What are your predicted grades? ( if you don't mind me asking so)

All of your LNAT ones are pretty competitive unis and don't really leave you with a backup. If there is an LNAT university that you want to go to, definitely sit the LNAT, its worth the chance that you'll do well, and the test is MEANT to be really hard - no one does well really by conventional measures, the way to do well is compared to other people (50% is a very respectable mark so that gives you some idea how hard it is - so don't worry that the questions you've looked at seem difficult - they are.)

I would suggest applying to a mix of LNAT and non LNAT unis, with no more than 2 or maximum 3 LNAT unis. Of the ones you've mentioned, Warwick, LSE, and QMUL are all top choices that dont require the LNAT so its adviseable to apply to one of them. If you mess it up you still have an option of a top uni.

And then some back up unis.
Again from your list, my suggestion would be Exeter, and then either Cardiff or Reading, as I would say Exeter > Reading > Cardiff.

If you are choosing between Exeter and Reading I would say definitely Exeter... though that is my personal opinion. I think Exeter is lovely and a better university, and don't think very much of Reading. I live within half an hour of Reading and until looking into Uni's never even knew it had a university, it just doesn't have a great student feel about the place if you ask me, and isnt the prettiest. But thats reading the town, i never looked at the uni, and it depends on your preferences.

As for choosing LNAT universities, I would say just pick the ones you like the most!
From those you've mentioned, UCL would require the highest score followed by KCL followed by Notts followed by Manchester. I'm not sure what these universities policies are with regards to the essay section.

for anyone who has applied for Reading, I just received an offer of AAB! So anyone else should start getting offers soon I assume!

Hi Silver!
I've been thinking about it and I think I'm most probably going without LNAT. The centre is very far away from home and the LNAT universities I chose are quite competitive I agree. So I might just stick to:

Queen Mary
Warwick
Exeter
Reading
(I heard Cardiff isn't so good - are there any other universities? Are Leeds or Leicester or Kent better?)

Thank you for your reply!
