Queen Mary Law course

Does Queen mary do contextuals for GCSE? I got the right predictions for Alevels to do the law course but my gcses are only 6s and 5s with one 7 do they offer contextuals for this?😭
Apply elsewhere, many RG unis don't have minimum GCSE requirements and QMUL is super overrated.

Kings and UCL don't have minimum GCSEs, if you're considering unis in London.

It doesn't look like it. The relevant pages only talk about reduced A-level grades.
Any specific GCSE grade requirements are non-negotiable - its about basic skills not 'nice to have'.
However if you are asking about how an overall low GCSE profile would impact your application, unless you have a very specific reason why they were low (illness, bereavement etc), then no, you dont get any extra consideration. Most Unis only use GCSEs as a tiny part of your assessment - your PS and A levels are what matter the most -so don't worry.

you have five applications. if you have at least one "safety" that you are certain you can get into, then by all means it does not hurt to try if you really want to go to qmul. if you had factors out of your hands which impacted your gcse's my advice would be to convince your school to put this in your reference, because that is something the admission's team look at, and could take into consideration.
