Your application will be considered centrally by the Faculty of Law before being considered by any college. If you receive an offer of a place, there is a roughly one in four chance that the offer will be made by a college other than the one you applied to, and you might receive an open offer and be matched with a college once you have your A level grades. Don't fret about trying to game the system. The system aims to offer a place to those considered to be the best suited for the tutorial system. There are about nine people chasing each place available. Good luck with your application, and remember to have a Plan B.
