Kcl lse ucl law yr12

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could help-
I’m currently in Year 12, so this Summer is a real push for super/extra-curriculars, therefore does anyone know if these different uni’s put an emphasis on super-curriculars(KCL,LSE,UCL) and if so…has anyone got any good curricular ideas for law or politicas?!
As super competitive unis I’d say the more you can demonstrate sustained interest if law/politics through super/extra curricular the better.

There’s law and politics essay competitions for many oxbridge colleges (if they’re not all closed by now). Only other extra/super curricular stuff I remember doing last year outside of term-time are reading, reading and more reading. Look at the recommended lists on the law/politics sections on each London uni’s website and pick a few that look interesting and really dedicate time to them (also may help for the LNAT essay section). Make notes about what sorta questions you may have about what you read and research them. There’s also ‘MOOTS’ but I never really got what those are. This worked for me (only applied to Kings of the 3 you named and got an offer), so hope this helps

I got into ucl and lse law and the only extracurriculars i mentioned in my personal statement was volunteering and lawyer shadowing. I found that i didnt have the space to describe everything i did. Really whatever is accessible to you will be fine, they don’t care about this part that much
