Hello everybody. how is everybody preparing?
Personal statement drafting? Open day bookings? LNAT preperation?
I've just realised that I actually have plenty to be worrying about and was just wondering how everybody else is getting on with all this!
Also looking to apply at:
UCL
Queen Mary
Southampton
Warwick
Kent
Are these realistic choices? I'm doing History, Geography, English Literature and Maths, though i'll probably drop the latter. I guess my GCSE's are good but not worthy enough for Oxbridge, LSE or Kings (3A*'s,9A's,2B's), though, are these okay for the uni's i'm looking at?

UCL is a bit ... ambitious I would say.

Hey, I'm planning on applying to:
KCL
UCL
Queen Mary
Sussex
Surrey
However I'm a bit put off from applying to KCL and a bit for UCL because of my GCSE results. I got A*AAAAAAABBCC... do those two unis pay much attention to GCSE results and are my GCSE results too bad to apply for the two unis (especially KCL)?

How is everyone going to prepare for the LNAT? I'm really worried that I'm not going to do very well in it at all!
I'm predicted AAAB at AS, so fingers crossed for the 18th...
I'm thinking to apply at;
-Manchester
-Manchester Met
-Lancaster
-Leeds
-Leeds Met
hmm, really nervous about all this!

From what I have read/heard - try reading a newspaper every day (or at least online) and paying attention to the comment section - this will help in taking an argumentative stance on a subject. Instead of just reading a topic, think of how it could be formed into an argument and how a topic could be debated. Likewise, perhaps practice essay writing itself and forming a judgement
Apart from this and the past paper(s) on the website, I don't think there is very much we can do to prepare.

I think thats very good advice, thanks
My school is being retarded and getting me utterly confused, I want to do law but it won't be at a particularly top university so is LNAT compulsory to sit?
Oh and another quick one... If I was to get the same AS Grade in Government and Politics as well as English Language, does either carry more weight with Universities?

I don't quite know the answer to your second problem, but for the LNAT it's entirely dependent on universities. Normally if you look on the website of University that you're interested in, there will be some mention of whether they require the LNAT on the entry requirements section.

Skip Manchester Met and Leeds Met. With AAAB, you have no business applying to those unis. Pick a solid fallback uni (something like ABB) and then consider something like Nottingham, etc. for the other slot.
Hello
I bought my son amazing practice papers for his LNAT, consisting of 10 separate papers of 42 multiple choice questions complete with answers and 50 essay titles to practice! They retail for £80.00 from prep genie and if anyone is interested I am happy to sell them on for £35.00.
Let me know and good luck!

I just paid 50 for the test I'd rather just buy 35 newspapers and work on the practice tests the site provides for me

I'm definitely applying for law and decided definitely going to apply to Cambridge. I also like Newcastle and Birmingham then not sure about the last two yet. I got AAAA which I was very happy with
Where are you applying to?

Your grades are brill.
Snap on Birmingham, I'm looking at Warwick, Nottingham, +1.. Was going to apply to Cambridge, but my UMS had different ideas. I may still apply, since an-offer holder, had almost identical UMS score to me, which gave hope.What were your subjects? Apologies, if you've referred to them already in the thread.

Oh Nottingham was another I was considering but I haven't looked enough to decide yet. Aw what were your UMS? I've got a B in one of my units and I'm still going to try. You might as well give it a go if you get the predicted grades for A level! Especially as you know people have got in with those before

No problem
Are you going to be going for any LNAT unis.
They were well below the 90% average.
English Literature 88%
Government and Politics 84%
Economics 83%
Philosophy 74% DROPPED.
I think, I will apply, but at least, I won't 'expect' to get in, which means no tears will be shred when and if the rejection letter comes through. How were your UMS?

Very possibly. If I decide Birmingham is a definite then definitely. I'm not sure how I feel about it, because if it's a good result then it's a way to boost your application but it could also go the other way
Well like you said, it's not the end of your chance to apply. You've still done well to get A's and more than grades will be considered so if you really like the university then it's worth a shot
My UMS were:
English Literature: 91.5%
History: 91%
Psychology: 93%
Theatre Studies: 91%
Nobody can apply expecting to be guaranteed to get in, so you never know Original post by racaha

I suppose, I'd be perfectly with only one offer though. This thread seems strangely dead, considering that 'Law' is allegedly one of the most competitive courses, and in comparison to other course threads, which have hundreds of pages, I suppose it's good for us.
Your AS UMS kick mine well into touch.
