hmm..to what ever coward that gave me bad rep for my above post id just like to clarify:

1) im not a bitter Durham reject (im still waiting for reply)
2) ive been rejected by UCL
3) i just assume that everyone loves living in London :redface:

besides..even if i do get rejected by Durham why would i be bitter? Nottingham is seen as a level above Durham either way...it would just mean id lose an insurance..

anyway..anyone wanna come clean and apologise? or do i just have to assume its OP who did it :redface:

honestly the cowards on this forum..always afraid of retaliation.

p.s...if youre gonna bad rep me with a fact atleast get it right:

Law

Entry Standards Overall Score
1 Cambridge 518 100.0
2 Oxford 504 97.9
3 Univ Coll London 478 96.9
4 LSE 474 96.1
5 Aberdeen 427 95.1
6 Durham 464 94.9

I'd say I'm in between. I'd like to live and work there for a few years for the reasons you stated above, but I do think that the noise and stuf would get to me after a few years having grown up in the Lake District.

ledzep..you still have UCL to hear from!

I know mate, I was wondering about the two actually. But to be honest, I don't really want to go to university in London. I seriously don't fancy grotty accomodation and a long commute for the second and third years! Anyway, I plan to get a job there, so would rather spend the next three or four years somewhere else!! Although, I'll probably have a look 'round if I get an offer, just for peace of mind. That said, I love Durham and I'm unlikely to be swayed. I just vastly prefer it, and I don't think that the negligible, if any, difference for employment warrants taking UCL.

And here's the previous year's Law league table :wink:

:

1 Cambridge 5* A 512 88 100.0
2 Oxford 5* B 489 86 97.1
3 Durham 5* A 451 84 96.2
4 University College London 5* A 432 84 95.4

:p:

I think they're seen as about even for Law, fluctuating around the top 5 in league tables. And with regards to the 2006 one, I'll discount Aberdeen as Scotland wouldn't give me the right degree.

How do you mean, "Nottingham is seen as a level above Durham"? Durham beats them for Law every single year...?

Sorry to hear about the UCL rejection btw; best of luck with Durham!

Oh, and the neg-repper wasn't me either by the way!

nah..my first choice was LSE then Oxford (both rejected)

but seing as im not an 10A* student i would have been v.happy to go to any one of them (2A*,8A...4A)...realistically my application should have looked like this:Oxford, Warwick, Notts, Durham, York, +?.

i applied to University College :redface:
