Law Applicant with AAB

It's a difficult one, as they'd generally like you to have taken your A-levels in two years (so may only count your original A-levels, the AAB). This may not always be the case though.

But law doesn't end at Oxford, Durham, LSE, Bristol etc. There are some great law schools who only ask for AAB (Leicester used to but I think they know ask for AAA. There's also Exeter - Cornwall campus). There are also some of the leading ex-polys, who can provide a great foundation for a legal career (particularly if you're aren't interested in the magic circle) that ask for ABB.

It would possibly be a good idea applying to one or two of the "top ten" law schools, particularly those that use the LNAT, and balance that out with three more realistic AAB options. Or maybe one "top ten", one solid "top 20" who still as for AAA (like Newcastle) and then three AAB unis.

Do you have any specific career plans in law (magic circle, bar, high street firms)?

Just out of interest, would you conisder a joint honours law/spanish degree (providing it's still qualifying, of course?)

I was in a similar situation as you. Realistically, none of the top unis e.g. Oxbridge are likely to accept you because they usually count the results for your first two years. Even with mitigating circumstances for my third non-A subject, I got rejections from UCL and Warwick. Best thing to do is to apply to two AAA unis, two AAB unis and one ABB uni. Nottingham and SOAS are AAA unis, but they gave me offers, so there are some AAA unis which are slightly more "lenient" (although still very competitive). Good luck.

When did your SOAS offer come through? Was it pretty early?

I somehow got accpeted by leicester and Q.M with AAB predicted and no As levels and there both AAA so i thnk some unis must use ur p.s and other stuff and not just ur grades.
