My applications thus far (all offers are conditional and in order of preference):
University of Cambridge - A*AAB Durham University - AAA University of Bristol - AAA University of Exeter - AAA University of Kent - Acknowledged. I was unable to attend one of their 'special interviews'.
I'm tempted to say it was your GCSEs. LSE really are looking for at least 8A*s for a subject as competitive as law. Did you get feedback?
Unfortunately, although work experience helps, doing it abroad or with renowned barristers wont make a huge amount of difference - not everyone has that opportunity, so they can't consider it.
I got an offer with 7A*'s, so I wouldn't say they need 8?

It would have been the personal statement which let the person with 8A*s down then. I remember attending a lecture where an LSE admissions tutor said that she would reject candidates with outstanding grades outright if she felt their personal statement wasn't good enough (i.e. inarticulate or riddled with mistakes). Either way, good grades don't guarantee anything.
Congrats on your offer though! What course is it for?
Did they send you an email saying the Applicants Portal had changed or was it an offer email?
What time did you receive it if you don't mind me asking.
i got an email from ucas saying my track had been updated at like half 7 this morning, but then ucas was down. so i logged onto the nottingham application website thing and it said they were making me an offer

My Nottingham portal keeps telling me there's a 'channel error' is yours working OK?

That line up is really impressive, congratulations.
I've withdrawn from Kings, Bristol and Warwick and accepted LSE - was bored of waiting.
Exciting stuff.
WOW that's really brave but is that really the smartest thing to do? I mean what if you don't make the offers grade? an A* and 2 As aren't exactly a guarantee. and you never know you could be getting an offer from all 3 if you just have a little patience.
Ahhhh that's comforting, thanks very much. Fingers crossed! Lol. Do you go to Bristol now??
Heya!
Naaa I'm not at Bristol... on a gap year at the moment but I have an unconditional offer from Cambridge so I now know I'm going there in Oct! Very nervous but excited too!
I wanted to take a gap year but applied last year for straight entry anyway because I was advised that a gap year might not be the best idea... but yeah once I knew I defo wanted one I withdrew my application. Bristol did offer me though and they take ages! So I'm sure you'll get an offer. What other offers you got?
