UCL

I want to apply to UCL for a law LLB the requirements are A*AA in a levels and 6(b) in English language and maths GCSE
im still in year 12 however for GCSE I got a 5 in maths as I done foundation maths which the highest you can get is a 5 and UCL is one of my fav unis and really want to apply but I really hate maths, what should I do ???because I would have to re take maths(which I HATE) and do higher which is different from what I studied in foundation

If they say they want grade 6 in maths then it would be a waste of a UCAS choice to apply for Law there. So if you don't want to retake your maths, you have 2 options. The first is to apply for a different course at UCL (History, for example, only requires a 5 in Maths) and then convert to Law post graduation (currently you can do this via a one year GDL although this is changing). Your second option is to apply for Law degrees at different unis such as KCL

thank you so much, not going to lie this was very helpful, KCL does look very good LSE only needs a 5 in maths but it’s so hard to get into!! what uni do you do to?

I would say you should retake, however, you should still apply to UCL, I got a 4 in English language and I currently have 4 offers and waiting on last one, so there's still a chance!

Yes but did you get into UCL with a 4 in English Language???
UCL is extremely competitive, and they have explicitly stated that they want a 6

Well I applied to ucl but I’m still waiting as my course is psychology and they are very slow however I hold an offer from kcl and they want a B/6 so that must significant

Kings want a B in Maths for Psychology but do not state that they want a B in English Language, which is why you were eligible for an offer

Under English language requirements it’s s band D which is a B IN GCSE

I have an unconditional offer for law at UCL, and I got a C in maths at GCSE.

Again, I can't comment on why UCL might have been unusually lenient in your particular case - maybe you are bringing more to the table as a mature student with work experience, for example.

For the average 17/18 year old applying straight from school, unis tend to be more strict on them meeting the stated entry requirements since they have nothing else by which to choose between them, really.

My employment history was omitted from my application.

Entry requirements should be used as a guide, particularly as far as GCSEs are concerned. Clearly it makes it less likely that someone will be successful with such a competitive course if they do not meet the entry requirements, but clearly also if the LNAT, PS and reference are strong enough then allowances are sometimes made.
