I know people in their second year who do law. one got in with AAA the other had AAB, I'm trying to remember if I know anyone in their first year doing law... hmm... I only know of my friends at other universitys i'm afraid. I will try find out if anyone knows of someone doing law :smile:

My flatmate who is 1st yr law student got AAB and got in because the law course at Leeds wasn't oversubscribed when she applied so the grade requirements were lowered.

If you live in Leeds within a catchment area they lower the grades for all subjects, I only know this because I live with three people from Leeds.

best thing will be to ring the admissions tutors and ask them. last year i did some admin work with them and they didnt mind queries like this. but they hate silly queries like "can i get into a abb course when i'm predicted ccd?"

I've heard about this too - do you know how much they were lowered to, particularly for the LLB course???

hey i went to the law open day on feb 14th.

general studies is now accepted which was a plus for me.

all applicants who placed leeds as their firm choice and gained AAB have been able to have a place in the past two years.
however she stressed that leeds has to be the firm choice.
it's not guaranteed, but in the past two years it's worked out like that.
but obviously it depends on what everybody else gets etc!
