Can i get into a top uni for law with these A levels

Don't do Business Studies; it's not very well respected especially at top universities.

Given you want to do Law, an essay subject (or preferably 2) is absolutely critical. English Lit is the obvious one given you haven't done History, or perhaps Politics. You really do need at least one, if not 2 if you are to stand a realistic chance of getting in. Plus you're entire course will mainly be essay writing so it's important that you get experience of doing this if you are to do well in a Law degree. English or Politics instead of Physics/Computing would aid your cause far more.

Hope that helps.

I would have to disagree. Without an essay subject I think being accepted would be very difficult; it would be like applying for Medicine yet not doing any science Alevels. You cannot show the essay writing ability needed for a law degree in any other way I don't think.

Agree with your LNAT point to an extent; good LNAT + good grade in essay subject(s) is what you're aiming for if you want to impress.

I want to do Further Maths, Computing, Pysics and Business Studies at As level. I have already done Maths

I am not sure which I will drop for A level

Are these subjects Ok for law even though there not like lit and history.

These are my best subjects and i have not even done history at igcse. I want to go to a top university in England.

What form of English qualification did you do?

Fair enough on the Politics; was just a suggestion.

Business Studies is an essay subject, but not a respected on. A number of universities (Cambridge, LSE, Kings etc.) publish 'blacklists' of subjects that they do not favour and Business Studies is invariably on them. When applying for top courses at top universities it is much better to go for traditional subjects, rather than risk 'newer' ones.

I'm doing Law at Cambridge, and nobody at our college has a) done Business Studies or b) got in without at least one traditional essay subject. A few did Maths and some sciences and then 1 essay subject and that's fine, but the essay subject really is important.

I see where you're coming from, and there is some logic in it but I personally think it just makes it much harder to stand out. True on the fact that you don't need the previous knowledge for Law, but you do need the essay writing/analysis skills that you build up through doing those subjects.

Just because I go to Cambridge doesn't give me any divine authority (we're not all that arrogant to believe it does! :P) It's good that you're voicing your view even if you don't agree with mine; would make for a very unhelpful forum is nobody debated anything!

Although the first is from Trinity's website, it broadly applies to all the colleges at Cambridge and is a useful general guide. The second is another useful indicator.

Don't do French if you don't like it. Economics would be a good choice; essays + the Maths element look good.

Maths and Physics will look really good, however I'm not too sure about the other too. I would definitely advise you to do English lit (which law schools love) or history/essay subjects because it shows your passion for writing (if you have it; I do!) and they like that since Law is mostly involved in lots of reading and writing as well as a lot of studying. I did Maths, Eng lit, RS and Politics. It was great having a balance of both essay subjects and maths. I got AAAB (B in maths which I dropped). I'm predicted A*AA and I'll be firming QM for Law.
Good luck!

I cant do lit or history because i have not done them at igcse

What about other essay subjects? RS or politics. They look really good on an application and I really enjoyed them and still love them!

RS is a joke.

I never said he'd have no chance without an essay subject, but you must admit you would be a rarity with those Alevels? Unless your college is very different to mine.

websites are not always as honest as they should be.

Philosophy and Ethics is a joke? did you just hear yourself?
