Help! (Law)

I am predicted ABB but I want to apply to Bristol and Kcl for law which are both required A*A*A however I am eligible for a contextual offer for both of them, do you think there is a chance I’ll get an offer

These are both very competitive universities for law. Bristol weight your GCSEs: A levels: LNAT in the ratio 20: 40: 40. This means that your A level grades have quite significant weighting. Not being predicted the minimum (even for contextual requirements) may well hurt your chances of obtaining an offer. As for KCL, considering how oversubscribed London universities are, you may also struggle to obtain an offer here with your current predicted grades. If possible, I would try to bump up your predicted grades, whether that be through negation with your teachers or assessments to demonstrate your ability. I wouldn’t rule out applying completely, as you still have a chance of receiving an offer, but you may be disadvantaged in the admissions process. So long as your predicted grades meet or exceed the required grades at your other university choices, I would still say it’s worth applying, but I wouldn’t get your hopes up for an offer, as generally, both Bristol and KCL are extremely competitive for law. Your performance in the LNAT can also make up for weaker performance in one area of your application, but it’s worth bearing in mind that both universities look at the LNAT differently. Bristol weight your Section A: Section B performance in the ratio 60:40, whereas KCL disregard Section B entirely. This may play a role in the unofficial cutoff score for KCL being so high (last year it was around 30 for home students and 27 for international students), but it’s hard to say for certain, as KCL don’t disclose an official cutoff score.
