As in in intercollegiate? Not so sure. I suppose it could be done.

Yes, if you get a twin room in an intercollegiate hall you could share with someone from another University of London college (like King's, LSE, Queen Mary, etc) - but not if they were at a non-UoL college like Middlesex Uni or UeL or somewhere like that. You wouldn't be allowed to share with someone from anywhere except UCL in a UCL hall.

UCL law faculty is very difficult to get offers from, whether you're an international student or not.

Yes you have a chance. Just write a good personal statement and try your best in the LNAT.

Must all UCL LAW students strictly meet their expected grades or they are not quite strict?

UCL law is heavily over-subscribed. If you miss your offer you are extremely unlikely to get in.

I thought General Studies does not count towards the three A-levels recognized by the university. History is great, but business is a bit weak subject though. Maths would have been better. Anyways from what I gather, UCL Law School is one of the top law schools in the country, meaning they are very competitive and oversubscribed. I presume you would miss your offer if you do not make those grades lol. The thing is, you must have a very good command of English in order to successfully complete your Law degree regardless of your ethnicity or nationality, and that's why, in general, it is relatively harder for internationals to get in.

Email the admissions department and ask them,admissions.laws@ucl.ac.uk

The website doesn't say anything about a specified grade in GCSE maths, a C is still a pass though, and you've got 3 As at A level (not counting General Studies because UCL won't either).

As said, law at UCL is a HIGHLY competitive course, if you miss your offer and you don't have a valid reason for doing so, eg illness, then you will most likely not get in.

As for other unis, have a look at ratings (even though they're not always accurate), visit them if you can to get a feel for them, because Durham is massively different to UCL

Does anyone know how flexible UCL are about switching course once you've arrived? Is it even possible?
I'm considering going from a not extremely popular or over subscribed course to a similarly less popluar one (V101 History to Scandinavian Studies), but this by no means a definite plan!

I was able to switch from Russian and Management BA to Information Management for Business BSc. It was actually really easy, I got some papers signed, had a chat with the Information Management course director and done.

I would say it would be possible for you to do it for sure. It might be a bit paperwork-heavy though!

There's no way I can order them in terms of difficulty of admisison.... they're all just as hard really.

Regarding your C at maths, I don't think you should worry about it. Concentrate on your LNAT. A good LNAT is worth a lot more than good GCSEs.

thanks!!! UCL seems very hard to get in....LSE may be even harder..

I have a small question regarding 'shared rooms' in UCL student accommodations, mainly the ones close to the campus. Do you have any common interests with your room mate and/or do you go to the same course? How do you get on with them? Any horror stories? Cheers. :P The reason is that many people I've heard from that share a room with someone don't seem to have many interests in common. I phoned the office to ask about their way of allocating shared rooms and they said mostly by interest or course, so just want to get a general idea of how often this is the case.

The difference between all the top law schools is negligible. Don't apply to UCL law instead of LSE law just because you think it might be easier to get into.

To be honest they may well do that but it is really all a matter of luck as to whether two random people will get on or not. Out of the people I know, it seems to be 50/50 between getting on and not. I don't know anyone that hated their roommate though, at worst they just kept to themselves.

I mean my roommate was a good guy, we just hung out with different people and were both away a lot. It all depends on the people to be fair.

Yeah, I guess that would be the case. I really hope I do get along well though instead of keeping to myself, as that would create this really strange awkwardness.

As an UCL student, wat do you think i should do? Do you think informing the UCL law faculty will help in case I slightly miss my offer?
please help anyone i really really wanna join your school!!!!
by the way ima law llb applicant

I can understand your situation, and I would definitely let the law faculty know. BUT at the same time, law is always over-subscribed, it's a very competitive course and if you miss your offer, even by a tiny amount, they are not really likely to still accept you. Let the faculty know, maybe get your school to write them a letter, and then wait for your results, you never know, you might have done better than expected!

I can understand your point, but do i stand a chance if my circumstances were unique? I am an international student, who takes the IB. I recieved an offer of 38 with 666 on my higherlevel subjects. And i think I might just get a 5 in one of my hl subjects (business n management). I switched course from Chemistry standard level to Business standard level halfway though my first year of IB. About two weeks later, the business teacher left the school. For almost the rest of the year, we did not have classes or a teacher. Then our school got a new teacher almost at the end of the year, but she never taught business before, nor any other ib subject for that matter. In fact she never taught anything before, she was never a teacher. Then on top of this, I switched from standard level to higher level halfway though the second year of IB (in mid december). The hl syllabus is much harder and longer, and requires 90 extra hours of teaching, which i probably didnt get. To add to this, 2009 was a transitional year, so the syllabus and the exam was different from other years, and due to sickness I missed my school mock exam, so the first time i ever took the new exam was in the real ib exam. I only messed up on paper 1 (paper 2 and IA were at least 6's), cus I was totally not used to the format of the new exam.

seems like you do have extenuating circumstances, nevertheless, competitive/oversubscribed courses like Law, I am pretty doubtful you will get in without having those necessary grades.
