Absolutely equal in terms of quality, reputation and job prospects. I would say it's down to where you want to end up afterwards. Highly likely you will be looking at London magic circle companies afterwards, if that's the case I would take the one-off Durham collegiate experience as you will anyway do the London life later. Also the Durham new law building has an amazing feel to it, if you haven't pyhsically been there the open day will swing it.

Oxford and Kings - rejected
QMUL and Exeter - offers
Bristol - waiting

I will firm Bristol if I get an offer with QMUL as insurance.

I had a bit of a dispute with kings about predicted IB grades, they basically wasted one of my choices which would otherwise have been Durham.

When did you apply and with what GCSEs / A2. Also what was the dispute with KCL? Have offers from QMUL/ Bristol/ Warwick - now waiting for the dream ones: LSE and KCL.

Predicted 38 (HL766) with a decent PS (hopefully) and a decent LNAT (since Bristol gave me an offer)

Got an offer for Law with LSE and I got 6A*s 4As and a B (and one of the A*s was taken early!)...so don't be put off by people with straight A*s

Congrats! My GCSEs are like 8A*s and 2As but my predicted is 38 IB points (equivalent of A*AA i think) so I don't really have a really good chance but still really hopeful :smile: Maybe the PS will drag me through? They haven't rejected me yet - applied 5th Nov so getting nervous.

I applied mid October. I dont have GCSEs / A2. as I´m following US high school system.

The argument with Kings was that they want predicted IB HL 7,6,6 my arguement was that it is not fair as it depends on which HL subjects. The reality is that only top 2-3% of IB students actually acheive a 7 for my 3 subjects therefore no honest school could realisticly predict one. My prediction was IB 39, HL6,6,6 plus an extra 6 points in another IB subject im doing in parallel. In order to not waste one of my choices I prechecked with them my reasoning and whether I should still apply. They said they would look favourably on my application and be flexible in the application of the HL7,6,6. Result: 2 weeks later rejected on administrative grounds for not meeting the criteria stated in the standard offer. Thank you very much for completely wasting my time and oppotunity somewhere else - not a serious university!.

Where are you waiting to hear from? Yeah i'm sure you'll be fine wherever - i mean I got an offer from Oxford for such a competitive course and without straight a*s so it can be done :smile:
