Law Clearing & Adjustment 2020

Yeah, I think even for Extra they said they’d accept AAA

Has anyone got like a full list of clearing grades from unis? Thanks

Makes you wonder why they don't just say AAA all along really

I think it’s the same reason Liverpool increased their offer...I think it’s so that applicants think it must be an elite university because the entry requirements are as high as UCL, LSE, KCL, etc.

Still shaking my head over Liverpool....will be interesting to see what they ask for tomorrow

LSE have confirmed they won’t be in Clearing or Adjustment

No surprise there tbh

No but some people are still talking about phoning them up to beg so you know.... please don’t

Really?! I thought it was a known rule that LSE doesn't do adjustment/clearing so didn't think that there was anyone that would even try

Interesting press release from QMUL

what's the point :l

it sounds like the usual 'hey we don't get to be picky and pls come to us we really need your money and we pinky promise that our 'blended teaching' is as good as face to face teaching'

I think they’re trying to a quick ‘please consider us and apply via clearing or adjustment tomorrow’ announcement😶

I’ll be interested to know what kinds of grades they (and other unis) accept tomorrow!

i'm just an extra cynic having done the LPC in 'blended' and then fully online mode this year

it's really not as good as the real thing and any uni that targets posts to underrepresented groups while pretending the opposite ought to choke and die

Liverpool are having a surge in applications for Law, hence the increased entry requirements. More and more students are getting TCs at top firms, so I do think they're trying to become more 'elite'.

No offence to Liverpool students or staff and there's absolutely no reason why their students wouldn't be successful at getting TCs at top firms but it just seems a strange decision to try to become more "elite" because that means having to compete with the likes of Nottingham, York, Birmingham, Sheffield etc. Unlike those unis, Liverpool are known to accept lots of students with B grades, which makes them an ideal Insurance choice for lots of bright students.

I think if they are enjoying a surge in applications they should carry on exploiting their positive points in the unis market which I see as being a Russell Group uni (which appeals to many) in a lively and relatively cheap city with more achievable grades than most of their competitors in the RG. They may gain some new students by asking for AAA, but personally I think they will scare off more potential applicants than they will gain.
