I think you'll strugle to get into Warwick and maybe Durham, and science A levels do not hinder you.

Well, your A-levels aren't impressive. Critical thinking is useful for LLB and especially for the LNAT. However, the law A2 is regarded as a 'bad' A-Level by many universities and if you have the chance, change it for something else.

To be fair i think only a small number really disregard it. (Cambridge , LSE as its on their blacklist). However the majority do accept it. A student form our college got into oxford llb and she did a2 law. You may find quite a few people who have done A2 law and gotten into to do law llb.
But i can understand your point as unis want to start off from scratch as i know that some students who have done a2 law think they know it all and everything but obviously it is miles different from a - level degree level.

i think bio and chem should give it some clout but i admit law a level was a bad choice far too easy. If i were to mantain AAAA would by chances be quashed by lack of a*, im pretty sure most law applicants get staright a's at a level with a sprinkling of a*'s at gcse right?
I think you should have a reasonable chance, obviously there are some concerns outlined above... not quite sure why you would have durham and warwick prpoblems though and not KCL, manchester or notts lol. If your app is hindered, then you will struggle at all the top schools.
