I've already submitted my resit form but just to tell you: they were middle B's. However, i got 90+% in my psychology module quite easily. About my circumstances, is mentioning it on the reference ok because my tutor said he'll do it for me...i mean, i was quite gutted on gcse results day because i knew i could've got better if things/luck were different. well, thanks for the input and any further advice.

Yeah, stuff like this is part of the point of references.

I got 2A*s, 6As and a B at GCSE. I resat one of my AS modules. I'm now trying to get my head around Roman and English theft. You'll be fine- it shouldn't be a problem.

[notontsranymore]

one last thing, would i need to get any supporting documents that my dad has to prove my circumstances or will i need to go through any other procedures via cambridge/ucas to prove it/or not?

thank you.

I'm thiking of applying to Cambridge this Sept for law but I have no idea which college to choose!!! Any advice and suggestions,please?

[ebam_uk]

apply for Christs, if you get an offer there is a good chance your offer could be EE, meaning its basically unconditional!

[jcb914]

College choice won't have much effect on the quality of teaching, so come to the open day and just pick a college you like the look of.

[Incoherence]

whoa, unconditional offers are a gift from heaven *gasps*

Downing is like THE Law college!

Good chance? You mean that they have given EE offers before in the history of the college. Can you please substantiate your claim.

Christ's state that approximately 1/3rd of their offers each year are EE, so you do have a pretty good chance if they decide to accept you.

Ok, but taking Solemn Wanderer's post into account, that must also mean they'd have to be pretty sure about you as a candidate to start with - so at the end of the day that can't make a practical difference to your chances of winning an offer to start with.

It's really not. Corpus is where it's at: top of Tripos for a good few years, and perhaps one of the best law fellows ever.

They state that approximately 1/3rd of their offers each year are EE given to students with mitigating circumstances.

How many have you read yet??? Or have you just bought them all, and they're sitting on your desk?

Oh that is a lot... but i guess i'd better get used to reading a lot of very thick, written very small , old books...

[Rudrax]

I've read 'The Law Machine', but that was before my interview. I'm slowly struggling my way through 'Eve was framed' too. After that I plan on trying to read most of List C and List B, that's if I meet my offer ofcourse
