Congratulations on getting your results !! They look quite good to me, but no one can tell you for sure so I would just have a look on UCAS at the different entry requirements for each law school/ law degree at universities you're interested in to see what grades they want, I know some degrees want e.g. five grade 7's in any subjects in which case you might want to think about retaking a couple to boost up your stats or just look for a university with slightly lower entry requirements if you don't want to resit. Good luck and well done again !! :smile:

Would that mean no matter how I would perform in a levels my application would be denied due to not having strong enough GCSEs at certain unis, if so I might consider.

yes, depending on the university. It all depends on their entry requirements, some law schools care more about e.g. the law school admissions test, some want a certain grade in a certain subject at GCSE, others might just ask for a 5 in English and maths and then ask for e.g. AAA at A level, it all depends so research the requirements for the law schools you're interested in :smile:
