    Mine is risky Aswell, I think my Target may be BBB or ABB but they said English GCSE B preferred but I got C :/ but still hopefully get in!
    Hey man, I'm applying for Law and got a C too. I'm going to an open day this Saturday and will ask someone the chances of getting in without a B. Wouldn't get our hopes up though as Law is so competitive .

    No they don't require LNAT thankfully; I don't think I'm intelligent enough to do well in that anyway. They want AAB. I thought I would apply for one Uni above my predicted grades of ABB.

    I'm from South East London btw. Where are you from?

    Every university interviews for social work. Unless the admission system has changed wildly at Brookes since I was there, it will only be art and architecture type courses (where you need to show a portfolio) and some of the health science and social care courses that interview. Most science, humanities and social sciences courses shouldn't ask for an interview.

    have decided not to apply to OB after the open day, thought it was too spaced out being on the 3 campuses and just didn't get a feel for the place. still crapping it about the interviews tho
