Can I get in??

Hii
I am a year 12 student studying Law,Politics and Sociology.
I have consistently got grades As from the start of y12. My predicted grades are most likely going to be A*A*A (A*AA) at least. I come from a deprived area and could get contextual offers. My GCSE’s are 765555CD*D*(at a low achieving state school) I’m form rep, prefect and an ESOL volunteer. With a good personal statement, lnat score and reference do I stand a chance getting a place for LLB at UCL,KCL,QMUL, ETC? Thanks so much

Not to sound spiteful or anything but you must be fishing for complements here cause your possible alevel predication are amazingly good. GCSEs could have been a bit better but you can't change that now as long as you have over a 5 in maths and English you are good.

No I think that is a genuine worry. They obviously aren’t bad gcses but they are worse than what most of the competition for offers will have.

I definitely think you have a good chance at all of those unis if everything else can make up for it however

Upon my research in KCL and UCL as I too wanted to do Law before but have changed my mind.

Kings straight up told me they don't look at GCSEs and alevels and other contributing factors are way more important.

However UCL did say they do care about GCSEs but they at least wanted a 5 in Maths and English. They said if the applicant is outstanding then it will be up to the department's discretion if they take you on or not.

Don't know about QMUL or ETC.

Yeah but what I was saying was if they hadn’t called up KCL like you had, they wouldn’t have known that. I highly doubt someone would make a thread to flex on randoms on the Internet. You’re probably right OP will be fine but it’s understandable they’re concerned

Understandable to be concerned but if they had alevels like that what's the need for concern. It would be concerning if they were getting B's and C's.

I'm only a little annoyed cause last year when GCSE results came out loads of people were like 'i got 9 9's and 2 8's will I get into Cambridge' as if they had just sat their alevels it just kinda me feel **** about mine and I know others who felt the same.

it's like weird flex but okay.

Lmao. Don’t feel **** about ur grades Why did you switch from law?

What's your maths, english language and modern foreign language gcse grades?

What were your GCSE grades for core subjects and what course are you planning to do in uni?

I have a 5 in both but I was actually 2 marks off a 6 in both too. My school weren’t able to send my remarks for some weird reason I think I can mention this in my reference. I was also 1 mark off a 7 in English lit. My school also didn’t have a language gcse to offer, I’ve seen that ucl don’t mind no language gcse but they’ll put you on a language course when you join

I think you can get it but it will be reliant on whether they will consider the marks off a 6 as your other gcses arent really competitive for law but in the context of a low achieving state school, it might be okay if you did better than the average performance. They are quite rigid on GCSEs @Euphoria101 any input on the weightings for UCL? If they are able to not mind gcses with the context of your circumstances, I think you have a chance with a good application and a good LNAT score but its just hard to know as you dont really have extenuating circumstances - maybe contact them about this? If you didnt have a language gcse, that would be fine if your school didnt offer it but I'm not sure how you would say this (maybe in the reference) but they do have alternatives like a language course

I emailed them about it and they said that they have waived the grade 6 requirement sometimes as they look at all applications differently. They also said the requirement for language is okay as I can take a lang course

I was concerned because my gcses aren’t up to their usual standards and my actual a level subjects aren’t as strong as subjects such as sciences etc.
