My chances at Oxford Law.

hey ninety_nine and beachboi! Thanx for the response , really needed it , guys!

I do 7 AS as I have the opportunity of doing all 7 and perhaps continuing them to A2 as they are subjects I enjoy(except for Mathematics) and believe could help me in the future. The list is as followsconomics, History, Politics, Ancient History , Greek and Russian ( long story)as well as Mathematics. I am getting As on all the subjects except for that of Mathematics , on which I'm horribly struggling to even get an A ,sometime a B. Ancient History is A2 by the way , but it is a thoroughly enjoyable subject, trust me and it is a joy going to class and writing essays haha. No seriously, very interesting.
I am aware of the LNAT as I have been on this forum for quite some time however, I was not aware that you are obliged to include all your AS and O'level/IGCSE grades and that C really let me down.

First of all, congratulations on getting impressive results so far!

In my opinion, your grades are capable of getting you an interview and, as you already may know, from then on it's up to you and your performance there. Make sure you have good references, good personal statement and LNAT, and you should be fine. No one will be able to tell you for definite how high your chances are, but it is certainly worth a try and that C should not stand in your way. You are proving yourself capable in your AS subjects so far and one bad mark should not undermine your chances. However, if you don't like Mathematics and find it hard to get an A, drop it at A2 and continue with subjects that you like and are confident in terms of likelihood of achieving A's. Otherwise, you might want to keep 4 subjects at A level and work hard to achieve A*'s in all of them

Either way, try to do your best at your exams and stay confident. You are doing the right things by reading around the subject and that should serve you well, should you go to interview next year.

Okay...right.
Your GCSEs seem good; no...they are good.
Look mate, you don't have to be a straight A-A* to get into Oxbridge; I know a few people who got all B's in their GCSE, got 4As, applied and got an Offer. So when it comes down to it, your A levels show the insignificance of the GCSEs

7ASs - Impressive; I'm doing 6 (look at my signature if you need) and I did one A level in Secondary school - But I'm slightly dubious about the History and Ancient History. I mean; despite them being of different historical backgrounds; they are still both History subjects.
Okay, away from that - You are aware that the A* is being introduced I hope. Now Oxford have said this time round that they will not bring out the A* for their offer- However; I'd still aim for that kind of score if you are looking to get into Oxbridge.
Another thing - Practice and near perfect your LNAT.
If you got AAA and a very good LNAT, you have a better chance of getting in than for example: AAAAA and a average LNAT.
So to be honest; you want to hone your skills...probably drop to 5 Next year - Aim for A*s and choose alternative universities just in case - because Law at LSE has shown higher entry requirements sometimes than Oxbridge; particularly in Economics etc...
So what are the alternatives?

Hey, Eve! Thanx for the reply. I might continue mathematics next year as I have the opportunity of doing it in the summer and also the fact that my last two modules will be the two statistics modules which are much more easier than C3 and C4.
Once, again thanx for the massive confidence boost- I wish you all the best!

i got into cambridge for economics with a c grade at gcse (albeit in food technology).

it sounds like you're a strong applicant. definitely apply.

First of all, being someone who is very good at mathematics I wanted to ask you if I have any chance of success in getting an A, albeit a low one on Mathematics A level. The reason why I ask is that for the last two modules I will select Statistics 1&2 ,which I was told are much easier than C3 and C4.

Don't be too hung up on the fact that it's called Jurisprudence at Oxford. It's just the name they give it. It doesn't mean that all your modules will be taught from a jurisprudential point of view. I believe Jurisprudence is a compulsory module there, but this is the case at most top universities.

I am in a state of panic as I have just realized that you need to put down all your Secondary Education grades and that involves my C in Physics. Therefore my iGCSEs are 4 A* 2A 1B and that C. I am deeply disappointed as I always hoped that I would be able not to include this on my UCAS form. Perhaps some of you might find this amusing or you might be thinking what a fool I am , well I have the excuse of the fact that no one ever explained to me this process. I will certainly not go into explaining my C in that subject as it may look even more pathetic. I wont explain my B either ( in economics).My school only offers up to 7 subjects.
I have always dream of studying a social or a political science at Oxford and I have set my sight at Law as not only does Oxford offer it in the form that most other British universities don't- they offer it in the context of Jurisprudence. I have been committed all year in perhaps one day making my dream come true and studying at Oxford as I am doing 7 AS subjects and have been doing plenty of reading around Law and its roots and origins.
My teachers describe me as bright, one particularly encouraging me to apply to Oxford as I have all the skills to impress at interview. However, that is indeed subjective. I am not trying to present myself as someone of high intelligence , yet I am someone of high determination and enthusiasm to succeeded. THis could indeed be evident after I got my IGCSE results back and it spurred be to take it a level higher and focus on that aim of doing Jurisprudence.
It is not that I as , you fellow TSRians, once again , this repetitive yet alarming nature: Can I get into Oxford Law?

I am sorry for being so direct and sounding needy but this is how I feel at the moment studying for exams and I need your utmost honest opinion.This is all I have to ask for now!
Thank you,
Alex
