Law Applicants 2012

Last year I applied for History, and before Cambridge got back to me I had a dream that I got an offer, but the envelope had a countdown timer in it and I only had twelve minutes to accept.

That is epic :biggrin:

Ouch, I don't think I could have coped with that! lol Mine was more like a general panic that 25 wouldn't be good enough, even though I secretly knew that it was. Which I think is quite telling overall, into my unconscious feelings about UCAS, but i'll let it go, lol.

So yeah... the law... Anyone struggling to read through their law books as well as doing their actual assigned work? I don't have a law class so all of my wider reading is in my own time, and I have three books on the go (Lord Denning, Criminal debates and Crime and Psychology) and literally have no time to fit them in!

Since you're not studying law, I'd leave that till the summer for "leisure" reading. I spent last summer reading law books, and is rather what made me want to study law.

You don't need to go overboard on the law books. A few is good, but you can impress any interviewer if you can talk intelligently on just one or two. Of course, reading in general is always good, and there's no harm in getting an informed perspective on the sort of thing you'll be covering; just remember that getting the A-level results should come first.

Depends on whether you think you can do good in the LNAT for Bristol.

Pretty good! You've missed the deadline for Oxbridge, but the regular UCAS deadline isn't until January 15th! As long as you get it in by then the universities have to give you equal consideration!

Ah, waiting to hear from Oxford is painful, I applied to Keble but I'm trying not to get my hopes up, it's tricky.
