Oh right well it's just a questionnaire they send over email so it's fine

1) what are your GCSEs?
2) what do you study at A-level and what are you predicted?
3) why law?
4) why at Cambridge?
5) do you know what college you want to apply to?
6) what have you done outside of your studies to make your application stronger?
7)which other universities are you applying to?

Hopefully there will be a few of us to get involved!


1. 9999999988
2. I do the IB: HL - English, History and Chemistry, SL Maths, Biology and Spanish. I'm predicted a 43 overall with 776 at HL.
3. I've been interested in law for a few years now as I think it will be a way for me to play my own part in the justice system. I also think that it's a really varied subject and can lead to hundreds of future possibilities!
4. I personally really like the Cambridge law course as it has more flexibility than other universities such as Oxford.
5. Christ's
6. I've done an online work experience, online course, work experience at a firm this summer, read a few books and given some presentations at law symposiums.
7. UCL, LSE, KCL and Bristol

Just got my confirmation email about the SAQ so I'm stressed about that!

I've applied to the same universities for law as you (although I put Warwick instead of Bristol), good luck!
