Anyone here applied for LLB Law? if so what's your offer and are you confident of meeting it? I didnt apply originally but am hoping to get in through Adjustment (hopefully!!!) or clearing. think exams went better than expected so am hoping it pays off and Birmingham accept me! any societies you guys are thinking of joining?

I'll br studying Law there (hopefully) :smile:

. Offers 3As or A*AB! In terms of confidence, it can go either way I think. If I'm unlucky and get AAB instead, it will all come crashing down as my insurance is AAB (Kent), not much leeway I know lol. I hope you get in! Where did you originally apply?

Society wise, the law soc or Holdsworth Club is a given, the ACS and maybe there's some sort of debating or political-geared society? I'll hopefully join the dance or ballet society too. What about you?

I'm so shocked at the studies in that talk!! :| totally making me rethink my mindset in stressful situations. Loved the part when she was discussing the physical symptoms of anxiety and likened them to your body preparing you to take action, its actually so true like your instincts do become heightened, so amazing. Thanks for directing me towards that! What will you be studying at Birmingham if all goes well? :smile:

I know right! The scientific jargon actually put everything in perspective and I actually felt a lot calmer...im still worried, but calm worried
In Shaa Allah kheyr I will be studying Policy, Politics and Economics (PPE)
HBU? WHAT did you apply for

Does anyone know if Birmingham is one of the unis that send a text our results day morning saying you are in or not? I've heard a couple of unis do this :smile:

Wow congratulations! That is some achievement! Thanks for saying that it is reassuring I mean birmingham has everything; beautiful campus, great city, nightlife, football etc and is a really well respected school of law.

Do you intend to practice as a lawyer once you've done your degree? If so, in the city or high street firms? :smile:

I applied last year too and they didn't implement that policy- but it would be brilliant if they did
They send you a good luck email for results which I found pretty daunting

I'm so impatient I just have to know asap hahah wish we found out earlier. We can see on track if we've got in on results morning right?
& No way, will we?! I was looking to do History and Theology aswell before we applied hahaa crazy.

I haven't had a reading list because I originally applied for English so my AVD was for that but then I changed my course so I haven't had any information about History and Political Science except what somebody posted about which books to buy on TSR. You?
