Not so good gcses applying to top universites ??

If you think you have what it takes to do well in the LNAT, go for it in terms of applying to LNAT universities.
Especially if you're realistic about your abilities and think you can achieve AAA.

However, what you have described will certainly be taken into consideration, but I wouldn't bank on that alone. Law is incredibly competitive: a conversion course may be advisable, but you seem dead-set on doing Law (which is fair enough - shows you're determined). And because of your determination, you want to go for better universities. But bear in mind, you have 5 choices, so you need to have a realistic spread. I would like to think KCL/UCL/Bristol/Warwick etc. may accept you. But I'd advise against applying to all of them! I would say: two LNAT universities (from Bristol, Brum, Cambridge, Durham, Exeter, KCL, Notts, Oxford, UCL) - and even though Warwick isn't an LNAT uni, I would include that as well. And then maybe two general AAA-AAB universities (e.g. QMUL, Leeds, Sheffield, Leicester - which are still very respected), and then an insurance, e.g. Cardiff, Lancaster, Hull, Liverpool - all still good universities. Even with my predicted grades/PS etc. I went for a spread - but then that was down to personal preference.

lso Uni's are not allowed to let the college that you went to affect their decision as Public exams are moderated so that they are all treated the same and so everyone has an equal oppurtunity at doing well

I can't believe someone is actually looking down their nose at Natural Sciences here.. I'm amazed...

i would say that for certain courses in certain unis, yes it does matter what you are achieveing in GCSES and all. that is because those courses are more popular and the unis can be more selective about their preference.... and it always helps to have good GCSEs!
as for the blacklisted subjects, in the top unis it is almost the same subs which they consider to be not suitable and to be honest they don't care how hard students think the subs are they do not consider a candidate well if they have more than 1 of these subjects.....
and for the type of school you went to, i dnt have an idea being an international student... i dnt see the difference... .

I can't believe someone is actually looking down their nose at Natural Sciences here.. I'm amazed...

I thought he was just saying History/Law were more popular at Durham...not looking down his nose.

It's sad to say, though, that things have changed quite a bit since 1993. The grades you got may have been good in the early 90s, but now - with more and more people getting As and A*s - for really elite places like Durham, Oxbridge and some of the London unis, they aren't so good anymore. To have a chance at a really good, well established uni, for a really competitive subject, you need to have GCSEs that are going to stand out.

Doesn't mean you won't get a place at all though - it's just a well known fact that places like Durham are sticklers for amazing GCSE grades.

Do they have admissions test for natural sciences.............errm dont think so. Admissions tests are used as another form of criteria. Law is unbelievably competetive compared to this sciences thing u talk about. I was talking about Law in general at Durham not other courses like sciences. They do have GCSEs policy on History and Law. He has to be realistic tho hes got a small chance and he would be better off applying elsewhere if he really wants to get into university.

Like I said it's best to apply to a range of universities... I also love the way you have dismissed Natural Sciences because it doesn't have an admissions test!!!! Does History have an admissions test??? The University looks at the application as a whole, which means that they look at all of the different aspects especially the PS so having dodgy GCSE's doesn't matter if the rest of your application is strong. Also Uni's are not allowed to let the college that you went to affect their decision as Public exams are moderated so that they are all treated the same and so everyone has an equal oppurtunity at doing well.... If they did let this affect the decision then discrimination would be taking place.

Realistically if the OP gets into Durham, I'm Santa Claus. I was rejected immediately for a course less competitive than Law with significantly better GCSEs and a three A prediction, and so were thousands of others.
