Which universities should I apply to for law?

Hi guys, I’m hoping to apply for law with A*BB at alevel and I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations on where to it would be reasonable to apply? I’m thinking maybe 2 ‘reaches’ and 3 that I have a high chance of getting into.

You grade would be equivalent to AAB, I would 100% recommend University of Birmingham, I know people who have got into it with AAB so I think your chances are quite good, then I recommend Uni of Leicester which is also quite good, University of Law as well perhaps.

I recommend, University of Birmingham/ University of Leicester/ University of Law/ Cardiff maybee but im 50-50 with it, and one safe one I guess
