Now, I know on the official Cambridge website, for Law, the course I want to study, it says that they don't have any requirements but a basic C in English Language and Maths. But I've heard that the average Cambridge student has 8 or more A* at GCSE. They say that the average grades a student has for Law are 4/5 A/A*s, which seems reasonable enough, but surely it is higher. And what I would like to know first and foremost is: are my GCSE's good enough for Cambridge? Now, I am not saying I am proud of my quite poor GSCE's (I'm really not), but this is coming from a school where he average is around 5Cs, so I did pretty well in comparison to that. I was also predicted/targeted all Cs with a couple of Bs and Ds. I achieved:
Religious Studies - A*
English Literature - A
English Language - A
History - A
Maths - A
Applied History - B
Core Science - C
Additional Science - C
Media Studies - D
Product Design - E
The last two...eugh, I know. Purely disgraceful, Media was originally a B, but due to one line of uncredited text, was moved down to a D, was considered plagiarism. Product Design was just an utter catastrophe, with no excuses. So, assuming I achieve A*AA at A level (in Religious Studies, History and English Literature) is there a chance I could get into Cambridge to study Law? I know my GCSE's are pretty terrible (the second half of them at least) and certainly very poor in comparison to most other Cambridge Law applicants, but is there a chance I could get in? Thanks for any replies, in advance.
