Harvard Law School

You can still change your choices in track up to seven days, right?
Kinda not so sure about my UK choices in UCAS anymore.

Havard law school is post-graduate, but for their undeergrad program there is no distinct requirements, but only 9% of people get in, and of the thousands of UK applicants, the only ones who get in are those who went to top grammars/independents, achieved 10+A*s at GCSEs, are doing god knows how many A Levels or the IB and getting top grades, top UMS, in all of them, are doing really well at maths and English (they want fantastic standards of calculus), captain every sports team, spend all their time volunteering and have powerful and rich oarents.


Don't be fooled by how good they are, the admissions attitude they have mean they will have a fall from grace soon. Even Cambridge are ranked above them in some league tables.

You can yes but please don't rush into it just because what people are saying on TSR.

Where are you applying? And remember you can't apply to foreign Uni's via UCAS.

Since when you red bricks are 5 A's at GCSE? As long as you have an A/B in maths/lit and have any other specific GCSE requirements they ask for, all they are worried about is your A levels.

Obviously oxbridge/lse/imperial/ucl are a different case.

Also, you can't get into a redbrick so you want to give the ivy league a shot ?

LOLZ, University of Lincoln here I come then...

Eh?

Sussex want AAA-AAB
Northumbria want ABB
Hull wants ABB
UCLan wants BBB
Chester wants BBB-BBC

Ugh. Go back to your learning difficulty school.

We call that school Oxford. :3

That place is a dump!

ABB > Harvard?

You wouldn't even get in the top 20 UK universities with ABB. Forget the american ivy-leagues which requires much more than 3 letters on a piece of paper.

I only know one person who has gotten into a top american university (MIT). She got maximum UMS in 3 out of 5 of her A-Levels and she got within the top 10 scores in the Olympiad.

Tip; stick to Hull.

If Elle Woods can do it, so can you.

Friends of mine have offers from cambridge and LSE and got rejected from harvard and similar ivy leagues.
Speaking to friends in the US they laugh when they hear at how naive some international students are when they believe they would have a shot at getting into Americas best colleges when they wouldn't be considered for the best university in their own country.
I don't mean to be brutal but I wouldn't waste time applying to Ivy League Universities or similar ranking ones such as Georgetown and Stanford.
Is your application for 2012 entry? US applications are very time demanding and take a lot of money (for each university applied to typically) and effort.
If attending university abroad is something you are seriously considering I would advise taking a year out first, researching the universities and colleges you are interested in and sending off the best application possible rather than just waking up and deciding 'hey I don't want to go to university in the UK'.
The reason I am saying this is because I really wanted to study law in the US and it was my dream up until I spoke to US careers advisors who explained how demanding the process is in comparison to the UK system, apparently it makes applying to Oxbridge look like a piece of cake.

Ive took a year out this academic year.

To be honest, ABB wouldn't even get you into most top fifty law schools in the UK.

With a few exceptions, most pre-1992 universities ask for AAB+ for law.
