Is this a risky application?

My situation:

I'm applying post a-level for law.

A level results: maths, further maths, English and Latin. A*A*A*A*. Ums average of 98.

Oxford, LSE, UCL, Durham and one other...

So, is this risky?

Edit: why so many negs? Don't hate coz you aint

no way mate plus your grades are banked so you have a pretty good chance of getting offers.

Exactly. It's so obvious it's not a risky application, but he/she is after the flattery that comes from the responses.

I think you should put London Metropolitan as your fifth choice, just in case. The admissions tutors at your first four choices can be tricksy.

If you are questioning whether it is risky to be applying to those universities with the grades and the average UMS you claim to have, you probably shouldn't be applying to those universities :colondollar:

You mean you haven't given up on Uni yet?

With that UMS, Cambridge would be a better bet than Oxford. They look at UMS while Oxford don't.

No way in hell you'll get offers. I mean, they'll instantly reject you for being post A-Level. I mean if you didn't get an offer last year, what's to say you're even deserving of a university place?
Btw, 98% is a bit pathetic, you really stand no chance unless you've got a 3 digit UMS average.

Are you sure that's not punching a bit above your weight? I think you'd be able to feel pretty confident of an insurance offer from East London (assuming you catch admissions on a good day).

Fish fish fish. Don't rest on your laurels.. Most people who apply for that course there will have very impressive grades. And your post a level which sets u back. Good luck though

This is the third thread like this in the past week from new members. The other two didn't end well, so be prepared for a firestorm, OP.

I mean they got so many negs that they were removed. If you are asking for serious advice, you may find that people won't be very kind, I'm afraid.
