AS Levels good enough for Oxford Law?

I got A in history, A in Sociology, A in Welsh Baccalaureate, B in Philosophy and B in English Literature at AS Levels.
All my A’s were full marks or a few marks away from full UMS marks, my B in english literature was quite low, subsequently it’s the subject im dropping.

- I understand LNAT, GCSE’s, PS and interview will have to be considered, but could someone give me a hypothetical answer whether AS grades: AAABB would be considered as an “Oxford offer”?!

-I have not as of yet received any predicted grades from my teachers, thank you for your time!
What are your GCSE grades like?

A*s and A’s, I’m Welsh so they come in alphabetical form rather than numerical 😅

Well your GCSEs are very strong which is good as Oxford place greater emphasis on these!

I think at the end of the day it really will come down to what your predicted grades are. But if they meet the entry requirements and you’ve absolutely got your heart set on Oxford, then you’ve nothing to lose by applying!

I wonder what are your predicted grades? The Oxford Law offer is AAA but most get in with much higher grades of A*AA or A*A*A or A*A*A* or even more A-Levels. However, the LNAT is used to rank your application too.

Have you chosen a Oxford college yet?
