Law Offers for 2016?

This is pretty much the reason I'm turning down Kings. Even if those on here claiming Kings offers with 18 or 20 or whatever are a bunch of trolls, there is no way I'm sitting in a class with 23 LNATs. No offense but clearly UCL are much more discerning on this point which is really going to matter when it comes to being able to do moots, reasoning, etc. together.

Decided once and for all. Don't even think I'll bother with the offers day. UCL all the way. That and they don't offer money to get people, either.

Hi everyone, I'm currently undecided between two unis, one of which is offering a 9k per year scholarship. Both are good unis so should I just go for the scholarship uni?

You know what, law is not only about your academic abilities but also about respect like every other subject. If you want to be a lawyer some day, you first need to change your attitude and stop being narrow-minded. Law is about communication with the others. You cannot simply judge by someone's LNAT score what type of person he/she is or how well he/she will perform in law school.
I got 22 in my LNAT and received an offer from Durham. I have work experience as well as many other extracurricular activities like debating. My LNAT essay was also pretty good. And now what? Are you superior to me just because you have a better score? I don't know if you are British or no but there are many internationals here whose first language is not English and scored over 20 (just like me).
If you are British, you should imagine how difficult it is to learn a new language and then sit an exam like the LNAT. It's difficult, isn't it?
And what you said about the big law firms is hilarious we are all going to learn about law in university. Believe it or not, there are going to be many people in your future law firm coming from unis you've never heard of.

Cholesta,

Have you put in your LSE accommodation application form yet?

I completely agree. My son got 31 in the LNAT and he would agree that the questions suited him and that on a bad day he may have had a lower score. I remember reading about a law professor who did it just to see what he would get. 19 was his score. LNAT is not a good judge.

I wouldn't pass up going to Oxford law, if I were you - even if it's going to cost you 9,000 more. (Assuming you have the scholarship from Kings).

If you are a UK-applicant, student loans means the cost won't harshly affect you. I'm not really sure what the process or cost is for international applicants though.

If you can gather the money for it, going to Oxford would pay it's dividends.

Good luck.

No, it's my son. Did you apply for law? My son is worried about the social side of LSE. He's going to see it this week, even though he loved it last year. He has heard that it's cliquey and unsociable. This is all via the Internet.

Which uni is the young fella off to then ?

I have an unconditional offer there for Law.
I read the things online, but I have one better, I have a lot of friends who go there, the social side is booming, in the solely undergraduate halls (Carr-Saunders & Passfield Hall) there is a great bonding and non-cliquey, just make sure he gets mucked in with societies!

I'M DESPERATE NOW: Is it possible to say yes to a place, then wait for the results for the IB to come out (one month after the deadline for accepting offers) and then, if you decide that your grades were good enough for a better school potentially), decline after accepting? In other words, say yes in june, but then say no in july/august? I really want to take a gap year...and try to get into better schools...

When you accept you are basically making a contract but no university will hold you to it if you decide you don't want to be there, there would be no point. If you do better than expected and your uni of choice is in UCAS extra you can also switch from your original choice to the new one if the new uni accepts you.

What is your current offer you will accept and which are the better unis you actually want?

If that is what you really want to do, just do it.

If I have understood you correctly, what you are suggesting seems quite off to me as you'll be taking a place from another applicant with no real intention of using it.

Yep - if you can show that you were interested in it What's it on?

Ah, I thought that it was something academic. I guess that it's good to be aware of these things, even though you could undoubtedly get similar advice from the UCAS/careers adviser at your school, and find most of the specific information about the course online. I personally abhor these generic "advice" types of lectures where you're bombarded with all sorts of tips for applying to uni, so I personally wouldn't go, although it does largely depend on whether you can gain access to similar types of information through your school.

That sounds decent, even though, from my experience shadowing a barrister, talking about the job for a couple of minutes is not quite the same as actual work experience... If you personally feel that it's worth it, then no one can stop you from going
