-- Applied last year and got an offer for King's, NCH, York and Kent - didn't meet my grades for King's.

Hey I'm Sofía, I'm from Spain 🇪🇸

Universities: Edinburgh, KCL, UCL, LSE and Oxford just in case
Subjects: economy, technology, Latin (out of the ones I can choose)
LNAT: in october, I can manage a 24 I think
Grades: 9,2/10 for 1st of Bachillerato (same as an A*AA in AS more or less I think) probably 9,4 total by June 2018
GCSEs: 8,2/10 in the equivalent level (AAB more or less, with two Cs in maths and physics)

ECs: I've read a good amount of books about law and classic and popular literature (challenged myself to read 50 this year), I read the economist, NYPost and Guardian every week. I've studied Russian independently (no teachers in my city) and plan to attend a B1 examination next June or May, also have attended English classes and have an A on the CPE, tried out German in an academy for a year. I've also been to my local court to watch some cases, I finished the Nanowrimo challenge in 2015 (didn't like the manuscript so I haven't really edited it or tried to publish it) and that's it. I'm a bit worried because I live in a rather poor area and there are no mentoring or internship opportunities for hs students, hope it doesn't affect my application

Why law?: because I want to work in an international scale and equip myself with mediation and persuasion skills for either a career as a barrister or a politician. I want to finish my studies abroad with a system more involved with torts and case by case rules like the British. Would love to help fight dictatorships and Human Rights abuses in the ICC. I'd also love being in the law department of a cutting edge tech company like SpaceX or Google

Someone give me advice here, got an unconditional from York but like I preferred Nottingham, amazing they've offered me it but still

I'm at Notts atm, what grades are you likely to achieve?

I’ve got an unconditional too but I think I’m gonna put it as my insurance so if I don’t get into my first choice I can definitely go there!

No idea but if I work hard im sure to get A*AA

You have a great drive and should go far. Shame you didn't apply to Notts though ;p

I didn't pay much attention to York when applying but if you want to go to Notts then hold out for them, you'll have a very good chance, even with an AAA or AAB depending on how everyone does

wait AAB? For Law? Really?

Hey, my name is Will,
University: hopefully Durham
Subjects: History, Geography, Literature, Business, Spanish
A2 predicted: (not yet)
AS predicted: AAABC
IGCSEs: A*A*A*A*A*A*BC
Law: Because being a corporate lawyer or entering politics is my plan, and a law degree would be the best for that. I also love history, but I feel like Law has the best elements of history in it anyways, and it's something new.

Just received unconditional offer for Law from Warwick

That's gr8, do you think you'll go?

So super late update but 2 rejections this week from Oxford and LSE so pretty much dashed my hopes of a top uni rn. Waiting back from UCL and KCL but wouldn't be surprised if I got rejected from both!

Probably not its my bottom choice though I currently only have offers from Bristol and Warwick

Ah ok, you must be aiming high then, what would be your top choice out of the five you've applied to?

Oxford or LSE
