Hi everyone, I've seen so many repeat 'do I have the grades to do law' and 'what universities can I apply to' questions, I'll just give a definitive guide to answer all of them.
Please note this is a rough guide, and uni's take into account more than just grades, e.g. personal statement and the LNAT. But here:
GCSE:
6A*+ - won't hold you back at oxbridge
4A*6/7A's+ - will be fine for UCL, LSE, KCL, providing LNAT and A levels go very well. Will struggle at oxford.
Less than 4A*, or >2B's - Will struggle for oxbridge, UCL, LSE, KCL, durham. Bristol, Warwick, notthingham etc will not hold you back.
AS levels. (in top 3 subjects)
AAA over 90UMS - Ideal for oxbridge, LSE, UCL
AAA under 90UMS - should be ok for UCL (if lnat is good), KCL, Durham etc. Struggle for LSE and oxbridge
AAB- Struggle for UCL, LSE. KCL, Durham at a stretch with good GCSE/LNAT. Ok for bristol, warwick, nottingham etc.
A2 Predictions
A*AA+ - Ok for anything
AAA - Bristol, warwick, manchester. No chance of LSE, UCL, oxbridge
AAB and below - any not top 10 law uni.
Hope this helps
