Law Offers for 2016?

ah thats annoying! yes I'm really looking forward to it do you want to be added to the Facebook group chat for law applicants at durham?

Have fun! There's a Facebook group? Yes please!

Congratulations! Did you receive the same offer for both (grades wise)?

Does anyone know if Durham's admission will give specific individual feedback rather than just a link to the web page with all possibility of reasons?

collingwood are you visiting next week?

My boyfriend is currently at Collingwood and I have stayed there myself - it is an absolutely awesome college! It really reminds me of an American High School, and I think it has one of the best 'party' atmospheres.

The last time I went to stay a rich alumnus came to give a talk - afterwards he went to the college bar and put UP TO TEN THOUSAND POUNDS behind the bar which meant we all got free drinks all night. I'd tell you how amazing the night was but I remember absolutely none of it

Hope you love Durham x

I've emailed Nottingham requesting a time period in which they'll reach a decision.
Fed up of the wait and just want it over with!

While I've signed in to turn off notifications following rejections, I wanted to know whether unis such as LSE and others checks applicant's social profiles such as Facebook and Twitter etc when making any decisions when all other things e.g. academics etc are equal....and its a tight call for the selectors on a particular day as heard rumours going around amongst the students in the neighbourhood that students at some public school and independent colleges are being advised to restrict their social media profile or set their public profile at neutral level. Any comments....#LSE #UCL #KCL #Oxford #Cambridge #QMUL #Durham

I've just googled it and they can and have done.

I'm currently in y11 at a good grammar school, and was hoping that someone would be able to assess the chances of me getting into Oxbridge.

Predicted GCSEs: 6 a*s, 6 a's, 2 bs
A-Levels: Maths, History, Economics, Politics
Course: Law or Law with American Law
Other: will do EPQ, 5+ weeks of law related work experience, manage local football team, 4 school sports teams, 2 other sports teams, bronze (will have gold) DofE, will attend Cambridge law conference, probably more which I've forgotten

Thanks for any help.

A*AA durham AAA bristol, were you rejected by durham ?

As above - it makes no sense to have a Firm and Insurance that are effectively identical offers.

Do not assume any leniency on Results Day for RG Unis for Law. They wont be charitable to near-misses as they dont need to be. They will have people queuing up via Adjustment/Clearing with the grades they want (and often higher) - so they wont need to be accept 'I didnt get the grades' to fill the course.

I applied to Cambridge law this year and ended up being pooled and rejected, had 5A*4A at GCSE and AAAA at AS with predictions of A*A*A at A2.

The biggest tip I could give someone which I wish I would have known before was to read like crazy. Going into the interview without having an extensive academic reading history was a major disadvantage. I found that the interviewers expect not only that you are an academic person in terms of grades, but also that you are academic in terms of a huge amount of extra reading. For example I was asked to discuss my favourite novel, something I really struggled to answer. So if I was you I would start reading the 'classic' type of book, build up a lot of general knowledge about literature, politics and philosohy, write a highly academic personal statement and you should do a lot better!
Hope this kinda helps

I wouldn't suggest that you put as your insurance any university with the same offer as your firm choice. You risk missing both offers if you miss your firm! They *may* have some leeway if you miss or they may not. It's not guaranteed, so work on a worst case scenario basis. If they're all the same, then I guess you have your answer.

The other things worth are the modules for King's course (I haven't checked it out, but whether it's a qualifying degree etc, though I imagine they want A*AA anyway...) and that Glasgow presumably won't be teaching English law.
