Do I have a chance to go to Cambridge law school?

I’m in y12 and will be submitting my personal statement soon
I have 10 GCSE’s: 4 9’s, 2 8’s, 37’s and one 5
The. 9’ s we’re in History, English lit, lang and RS.
My predicted A Level grades are : A*, AA in English Lit, History and Chemistry. (I can probably push the A in History to an A* if needed)
I have done an EPQ on international law
I will be doing the LNAT, I’m extremely scared 😪
I have done lots of work experience in different firms including shadowing a KC.
What kind of score will I need in the LNAT and do you think I have a chance to get into Cambridge?

I’m also applying to study law this year at Cambridge, Bristol, Nottingham, Leeds and Manchester. Because Cambridge, up until recently, used the CLT, it’s hard to determine what score you should be aiming for. Generally, a score in the high 20s should put you in a relatively safe position, but Cambridge also place emphasis on the essay section. Because applications are assessed holistically, a strong LNAT score could make up for weaker performance in a different area. Statistically, you are more likely to get rejected than accepted, regardless of your stats, and this is something you have to be okay with if you decide to apply. What other universities are you thinking of applying to?

Well I changed my mind about Cambridge and am now going for Oxford law at St Hughes I THINK?? I’m going for Nottingham, Birmingham, LSE and I haven’t decided the last one yet

What was it about Oxford that persuaded you to switch? I also will be applying to Birmingham (instead of Manchester) now.

These are my GCSE Grades (999888766):
9 - Religious Studies, English Language and Literature
8 - Chemistry, Maths and Further Maths
7 - Geography
6 - Biology and Physics (3 marks away from a 7 in both)
My Attainment 8 score is 7.9
At my school prize-giving, I won the following awards:
Year 10 Award
Emmaus (EAL and SEN) Award
Duke of Edinburgh Award
I've also completed in UKMT challenge as Bebras Competitions, and won a bronze certificate in the JMC 2021, and a silver certificate in the IMC 2024
So with all so far said, am I in a good position to study medicine at Cambridge (or at least any of the top 5 universities)

What is CLT?

I wish you luck. I assume that you have read Tom Bingham's excellent book. Have you looked at Nick McBride and Glanville Williams also?
Also, check this out - seven hundred years of English legal history in five pages.

Some famous lines from a great jurist:
"The life of the law has not been logic: it has been experience. The felt necessities of the time, the prevalent moral and political theories, intuitions of public policy, avowed or unconscious, even the prejudices which judges share with their fellow-men, have had a good deal more to do than the syllogism in determining the rules by which men should be governed. The law embodies the story of a nation’s development through many centuries, and it cannot be dealt with as if it contained only the axioms and corollaries of a book of mathematics. In order to know what it is, we must know what it has been, and what it tends to become. We must alternately consult history and existing theories of legislation. But the most difficult labor will be to understand the combination of the two into new products at every stage. The substance of the law at any given time pretty nearly corresponds, so far as it goes, with what is then understood to be convenient; but its form and machinery, and the degree to which it is able to work out desired results, depend very much upon its past."
(Oliver Wendell Holmes)

When I wrote this I totally forgot that technically I am in y13 now 😅😅😅😅, I completely forgot that my year ended! So I will be applying to Oxford Law this year☺️. Wish me luck 🍀
