Law Applicants 2011 Offer Thread

hey haha sorry if i was not specific. im an international student so i took the A levels. I have offers from Bristol and Notts but got rejected by UCL and KCL so i was wondering if in the event that my actual grades (which are coming out tomorrow!) were really good, could i email UCL/KCL to ask them to reconsider my application. would it affect my UCAS application in any way? Would this be considered as Adjustment?

To be frank, the chances of those universities being in Adjustment next year is close to 0. The best uni for Law in Adjustment last year was Lancaster (pretty good right?) but Manchester took my details in case they had an opening (either they didn't, or they didn't want me.)

You can phone and ask law departments if they'd take you (if they're in Clearing, which is the "official" pool of Adjustment universities) and it won't affect your application, but before you can accept an offer from one, you have to reject all your other options.

Bottom line, best to go to Notts/Bristol, basically, pretty on par with UCL/KCL.

Completely agree with the point about Scottish Law (unfortunately, I haven't seen the Times' list, I'm not paying to see whatever nuggets of gold they have, so I can't definitively say I agree with the Times.)

I'd say the majority of people applying for both Scots and English Law will be people who didn't know there was even a difference. I'd advocate the separation of the two also, the only issue I can think of is that the Scots Law list would be quite short in comparison to the English Law list, but that's not a good reason not to do it (they separate Veterinary Medicine from Medicine after all, similar issue there.)

Oh it's really not worth paying for online! Out of all the ones I've looked at, I prefer their league tables overall. Though if you have to research and then judge wildly different league tables, you could argue there's no point in having them...I did have the book, so would have been able to check, but gave it away to a friend in yr12 last week.

I think you're quite right about the people applying to both Scots & English law courses, unless you do your research properly you wouldn't know. It's actually such a shame they're seperate, I'd have loved to have gone to St Andrew's or Edinburgh! Though with the latter all the anti-english discrimination probably means I wouldn't have got in anyway....

Would you mind highlighting why you love reading?

It's my insurance, but i have some getup where i really really don't want to end up there. Probably because it means failure, but also because it looks fairly dismal and SU was a bit of a let down.

Same for me. I've got it as my insurance, but I didnt really want to go there. :smile:

Thanks teaandcoffee for providing some pro's to reading, looks like I feel a bit better about using it instead of Southhampton. :biggrin:

Has anyone been given an offer recently to Bristol or has it mostly been rejections?

Those results are amazing! And i cant see any reason how she won't get in (provided her personal statement was pretty strong which i'm guessing it is).

As i said earlier, I know people with AABB at AS level who have been offered a place a while ago, so i see no reason for her not to get in. (Although the whole selection process currently seems totally random).

Good luck and keep me updated x

Sussex is not a bad uni at all, I applied there as my insurance. The campus is really nice and the professors that I met all seemed great. It's climbing up the League Tables. I can't really say about job prospects, but there are definitely other universities (UCL, LSE etc.) with a better track record for Magic Circle Firms.

Sussex's law department does seem quite good, I have a friend doing law there. Personally I can't stand the campus.

This has been asked before, but Warwick or Bristol?

I'm thinking of just withdrawing from Warwick. Is it worth getting the extra reference they want and then waiting some more?
