4 Highers at S5, law at Glasgow/Edinburgh

Hi, im in S5 taking 4 highers predicted 4 As in PE, English, Biology and History. I really want to go to either glasgow/edinburgh to do law but do i need 5 highers in S5 to do this? Its too late for me to add on another higher at my school. If i was to take 3 advanced highers next year would i have a chance to get in ? i feel as if i could get atleast AAB. But if i was to do this, how many n5s do i need? Because i currently only have 4 all at A grades. Thanks so much.

i'd speak to ur guidance teacher now and take another higher like Modern Studies, or sociology or politics.
they should allow u to do it, but you'd have to catch up

You can stay into S6 and do more highers in that year

yeah but do they tend to accept people with 4 highers in s5 because the course is competitive?
