'ello.
I'm in north west London.
Applying for MSci Physics.
A-levels are maths + further maths, physics, history, and French AS over both years.
I still don't have predicted grades for maths (or further) and physics but my history predicted grade is A*. Hopefully I'll get at least 3A*.
So I'm also looking at Cambridge, Imperial, Southampton and Warwick. Birmingham is my third choice after Cambridge and Imperial.

I would go but I kind of can't because I have a really unsupportive mother who refuses to let me look at any universities (including Oxford) because they're not in London.

Thank You! Erm i was really gravitated towards the idea of studying Law and I generally see myself working for large companies as their lawyer and doing litigation. I'm also really fascinated by law, the system and how it shapes and defines our society.

I want to do the full llb but my heart can't wait to pick the contract, commercial and the corporate law modules.
