Law Hopefuls 2017

I saw the Medicine 2017 thread and thought why not start a Law one! This Thread is for all those hoping to study Law(or considering it) next year. You can use this thread to discuss A Levels, Law related work experience, open days and anything else!

I think Bristol is my dream university for law at the moment, I also really like kings college but as you said all depending on whether I get the grades or not :tongue:

Thinking about applying for Law this October at Oxford, Reading, Kent and 2 more that I havent decided yet. I got AAA M2 in my a levels last year, but withdrew to take a gap year. Still unsure if I should do one a level next year and get an A* to boost my chances at Oxford, and potentially open up the possibility of applying to KCL and UCL. I applied to Camb in 2014 for 2015 entry and was pooled, so sorta used to the interview process etc

Are these unrealistic choices for me?

Ah! Very impressive! Good luck with your AS exams too! If you don't mind me asking, are do you go to a state or independent school?

What extracurriculars have you guys been taking part in?
I'm worried I don't have enough that are relevant to Law!
My only ones sort of relevant are Debate society and I'm part of the Pathways to Law programme. I've applied for the UNIQ summer school and will be applying for the Sutton trust one also. Hopefully I'll be doing some work experience in a law firm in the next few months

I have only done one work experience at my local magistrate's court, but I hope to do more in the summer. I do debating (and will be participating in the Cambridge Union Schools' Debating Competition), but sadly I am ineligible for UNIQ as I now go to a private school...

Until GCSE I went to a mediocre state school, but now I am at a private school, not because I am rich, but because I was offered a scholarship.

I was hoping that my school would be able to help me out with it because it seems that a lot of people apply to do medicine, law etc so they are quite familiar with admissions tests
