A Level Law - should I apply to LSE? Please help!

Hi,

So I know LSE isn't a fan of A Level law. I'm predicted A*A*A* in History, Politcs and Law and I'm wondering that since LSE consider history and politics to be facilitating subjects, should I still apply? Or do you think that LSE just rejects anyone with A level law. I got AAAA in my AS results and my GCSEs are A*A*A*A*AAAB. I have a strong personal statement and reference. But would all that still not be enough? Has anyone who has done law at A level got into LSE for law?

Thank you

If you actually get those grades, then I wouldn't be settling for LSE, to be honest. That, however, is only my view.

But if you do, they don't mind. I know somebody who's studying there who took A-level Law and got A*AA. You've nothing to worry about!

Thanks so much! What do you mean by settling? Isn't LSE meant to be great for law? That's great your friend got in I just wasn't sure because my teacher said they hate law at A level and on their website it is non-preferred. Just don't want to waste one of my options!

Well if it is highly probably that you're going to get 3 A*s, then you should be aiming nowhere but Oxbridge. LSE is great for law, but Oxbridge is a lot better. But it comes down to preference at the end of the day.

They don't "hate" law, so your teacher needs to rethink his/her words. It's "non-preferred", that isn't to say that they will refuse exemplary candidates! And 3 A*s is exemplary, so all doors are open.

Better, sure, but I'm not convinced Oxbridge are "a lot better" for law (and I say this as someone who studies Law at Cambridge).

I imagine the differences in A level results between law students at LSE and those at Oxbridge are minimal; they are all brilliant places to study Law.
