Re: Law Applicants 2013Yeah you can, I think it'll cost you more though.(Original post by Zedd)
As I vaguely remember from my first UCAS applications a few years back, can you not apply to, say, 2 uni's and then at a later date add an additional 3? -

Re: Law Applicants 2013I imagine if it keeps applications to certain uni's on the down-low then it's worth it.(Original post by Defragmentation)

Re: Law Applicants 2013I'm not exactly sure about this either, but I heard that they don't like being used as a "backup" for Oxbridge. Defensive admission, I guess.... but now that you mention it, I don't know how they would be able to discriminate. Does anyone know why these rumors began in the first place??(Original post by emanuela15)
Not too sure how they'd know you're an Oxford applicant since unis can't see what other unis you apply to! Unless you'd get asked in interview, I suppose? -

Re: Law Applicants 2013It'll cost more if you apply for more than one uni so it makes no difference if you apply for two unis early on and then add another three since you'll be paying £23 when you first apply anyways.(Original post by Defragmentation)

Re: Law Applicants 2013They likely began when unis still saw your ranking of them (1 to 5) and admissions tutors at places like LSE and Durham, who also had a reputation for turning down successful Oxbridge candidates, presumably got sniffy at being anything less than number 1.(Original post by kavue)

I think mine was the second year where they have no clue as to the rest of your UCAS form so they've persisted for a long time now. -

Hi guys,
I'm hoping to study law pending on grade results!
Looking at Newcastle as my first choice followed by Birmingham, Manchester and then if all goes to pot Uclan!
Really stuck on a 5th option though and not really looking at Oxbridge or London due to expense - any suggestions?

Re: Law Applicants 2013If 'expenses' is the only thing deterring you from Oxbridge, I would have a rethink. They offer some of the most generous bursaries in the country, and Cambridge/Oxford do not strike me as particularly expensive cities.(Original post by Ellesse)

Re: Law Applicants 2013Also UCLAN's a fair step down after all those AAA places (A* for Cam if you apply there) you might want to check out somewhere like Hull as your reserve.(Original post by Ellesse)
I have looked into Liverpool and so far pthat looks like a good idea!
In response to Oxbridge after speaking to a representative that could also be a possibility - thanks guys!

Yeah I thought it was best to save a lower grade option just incase all goes wrong!(Original post by roh)

Ok I'll look onto Hull - Thankyou!

Re: Law Applicants 2013Southampton? I remember there was a scheme where they give students lower offers if they fit certain criterias.
Either way, I understand why you want a back up university but you have to think about whether you'd really be willing to go to the university if you know you can do better- especially with the increase in fees it may be worth thinking about retaking results or reapplying.
And if you're doing more than three A-levels, some unis ignore the additional A-levels so technically AAA unis could be back ups
I remember getting an AAAD and an AAAB offer so i convinced myself that the AAAD was a back up offer

Re: Law Applicants 2013I managed to get some work experience at Pinsent Masons, a solicitors firm in Manchester. I had to apply online and then they got back to me(Original post by Conzy210)
Anyone managed to get any work experience at any local firms? I must have rang about 100 firms now and no luck

Re: Law Applicants 2013Hopefully! The open days are what should help me decide which 5 I'd be happy to be at.(Original post by emanuela15)
Jesus Christ.
Well hopefully doing all that should help you limit your choices...right? -

Re: Law Applicants 2013I've tried to get as many on Saturdays and when the college is closed as possible. I've had 6/20 lessons in the past two weeks and have today and tomorrow off of college, thats another 4 lessons missed, due to pre-booked things so I can't really afford to have any time off for open days.(Original post by emanuela15)

Re: Law Applicants 2013Hey all! Providing I get the grades this year and next, I am hoping to apply to Birmingham, Leicester, Warwick, Nottingham, and either Bristol or Buckingham.
Out of them all I would probably firm Leicester cos it looked amazing during the open day! Just hope I get an offer haha.
