Advice needed ! ( Law application A*AA)

Hello everyone,
My A-level predicted grades: A*AA
My GCSEs: 8777777766
I would like to apply to UCL, KCL, LSE, Bristol, and Nottingham.
What chances would I have of getting into these universities? (LSE in particular). I am about to send my application, although I am slightly worried as I am unsure as to whether my gcse grades would limit me since I did not obtain any grade 9s; should I bother applying to LSE with them?
My LNAT went fairly well, and I am very confident in my essay, although the mcqs were a bit shaky and i had to guess the final 5 questions :/
Thank you you for reading this rather long paragraph, I would really appreciate any advice :smile:

Law is crazy competitive! I applied this year and many of my friends with all 8s/9s and predicted all a*s and very high lnat were rejected from unis like Warwick, LSE etc. It might be worth having 1 that’s more of a safety but that you would actually want to go to, e.g. I really liked the look of Exeter. If those are the only unis you like and are ok with the fact you might get rejected from all of them, then go for it! Especially if you’re ok with taking a gap year you may as well try

Your grades are probably at the bottom of what the universities you are targeting would consider. I would include one or two insurance choices.

Hi! For University of Nottingham, Law will be looking for a minimum of five 9-4 grade passes at GCSE including English Language. Hope this helps! :smile:

I ended up switching LSE for Exeter about 7 months ago when I initially posted this, I ended up getting an offer for all except for UCL which I am quite proud of
