Yes! They might be a little lower than the average LSE applicant for Law but not low enough to not bother applying. Just make sure you show great academic interest (LSE don't care about you wanting to be a lawyer) and have a good PS. Also, for LSE, make sure you get A*AA predicted grades and feel confident that you can achieve this. For the others I wouldn't worry about them at all! :smile:

That's a ridiculous listing. There is one hell of a drop from LSE to the rest. If you're not going to get into LSE and you achieve A*AA, it would make no sense whatsoever to go to City. I can see you want to stay in London, but I seriously do not agree with your choice of unis.

Lse is my aspiration all option. City is my favourite by far. I appreciate your help and response but no offence it's not your problem if you don't agree with my uni choices

Best of luck with your application!

Just to echo the other poster though, you are jumping from City to LSE, have you considered other RG unis? UCL, Queen Mary's and King's are incredible if you want to stay in London, and Royal Holloway is not RG but still of good repute.

In terms of reputation and also entry requirements, City and LSE are very very different. Most applicants applying to LSE will also be applying to other top unis like UCL, King's, Nottingham, Oxford etc. Your AS grades indicate you could apply to these unis too, it just seems strange you would go for slightly less reputable unis. Obviously it's your choice though :smile:

To clarify, the others aren't bad, LSE is just on a completely different level

Right ... Well, best of luck at City with your A*AA grades. I am sure you won't regret that decision :biggrin:
