I'm looking to apply but obviously will have to submit it in the 2nd round. Question is tricky though & you need A*A*A😩🙃


I applied, it seemed worth a try, although I don't think my essay was very good- it was so hard to tell what they were looking for! Would Kings be your first choice with the scholarship?

right now I'd say King's is probably my 3rd choice (if i were to receive offers from all 5, touch wood), however with the scholarship i don't think i'd be able to turn it down- the financial help with studying in london would be too good to refuse!

I think similar at the moment too. The paremeters seem different to last year, which is scary! Good luck!

You'll really need to be predicted their offer requirement if you want a chance at being given an offer. Could you ask your teacher to bump up your prediction to A*AA?


Similar problem, at AS I got AABc but my B was almost an A, and at A2 I'm predicted AAB. I'm taking the LNAT and hoping to apply to Birminham, but with my predicted grades d'you think I'd be considered at Nottingham or Durham? Thanks:smile:

wait, do you need to apply for a scholarship at the same time as you apply with ucas? or do you need to hold an offer and then apply for support?

I applied after submitting UCAS and I don't have an offer yet. It seemed a bit odd, but on the application form there was a tick-box for people in my situation

any advice on applying?


Giving you an advice is difficult as it is quite an open question. I can tell you briefly what I wrote. Regarding the single achievement I wrote about my work for the European platform for secondary schools - lobbying EU Institutions, going through national legislation, research on minorities withing education and their recognition in legislation.I would advise you to link your single achievement with law and personal development.Significant failure was a bit trickier. I also talked about my experience in the platform. More specifically I tackled issues with meeting the deadlines and teamwork. However, in the end I wrote what I eventually learned from my mistakes and how it both changed and improved my attitude towards work ethic.My advice would be to link everything with law. But do not forget to make it more personal as they want to get to know you from a different perspective.

Ive applied to Nottingham, Bristol, Liverpool, Kent and Reading.. Offers from Liverpool, Kent and reading. Slightly worried as nottingham and bristol are the LNAT universities and haven't heard from them yet!
Has anyone applied to Bristol, and if so have you heard anything yet?

Has anyone who's applied to Nottingham received a weird email talking about LNAT and the general time frames in which you'll hear from them depending on the LNAT score? I'm hoping it's just a generic email

that's weird! I got one saying that they are trying to get through things as fast as possible and just a general reminder to make sure to add nottingham to my lnat list if i hadn't already, but nothing about a time frame o.0 what did yours say exactly?
