    Will i get an offer for law?
    Hi, this is my first thread so i hope i've posted it in the right place.

    I really want a law offer from warwick, but i'm unsure whether i stand a chance or not. My gcse's are: 3A's, 4B's and 1c (extenuating circumstances). My AS's were: AABC, and also a D (but in general studies; will this count against me?) My predicted grades are: A*A*A, i got 190/200 and 193/200 ums in two of my AS's. What are my chances?

    Depends partly on your PS, but I'd say you're in with a shot.

    edit; which subjects do you do?

    Hey,

    I have applied to study Law at Warwick and got my rejection yesterday.

    GCSE: 3A* 6A B (Mitigating circumstances)
    AS: AABB +Welsh Bacc. (Economics, Geography, History, Mathematics) (extenuating circumstances too- didn't take history GCSE)

    Predicted: AAAA + Welsh Bacc

    Hope this helps, I wouldn't rule you out. Make sure your personal statement is excellent and your reference!

    Good luck!

    GSCE: 4A*5As
    AS: AAAB (Politics, History, Law, Chemistry).
    A2 Predictions: A*A*A (Chemistry dropped)

    If my wait goes in to March or beyond when my Accommodation for my other universities open up I will scream. Hopefully I can get an offer. I think my chances are 50/50 though.

    I'm still waiting for an offer/rejection, but I doubt i'll get an offer :
    GCSE : 2A*s and 8As
    AS: AAAA ( History, English, Politics and Psychology)
    A2 Predictions : AAA ( Pol, History and English)

    Considering Kevin Wu got rejected and his academics are better than mine... I've got no hope.

    Mate, I think you'll be fine I have very similar grades and have a conditional offer:

    GCSE - 2A* 7A 2B
    AS - AAAA (Hist, Eng, Politics, Law)
    A2 - A*A*A*A

    I'm convinced that they looked at my application and thought: 'A poor kid, we must have him or we get chastised and lose moneyz!'

    Haha... Similar grades... until you get predicted A*A*A*A* and I get predicted AAA. Congratulations on the offer by the way!

    Fair enough, well done again! It seems Warwick seem to like candidates who continue 4 subjects at A2. I hear they put alot of emphasis on personal statement too, so they must of liked yours!
