Do I stand a realistic chance of getting into Birmingham's LLB?

Hi all :smile:

I'm an international student currently serving mandatory national service and I'm looking into my options for undergraduate study. I scored a 36/45 in the IB, with a 765 for my Higher Level subjects which included an arts subject as well as Literature & History. I intend to apply for History & Politics courses at KCL, Warwick, York and Exeter. For my fifth UCAS option, I'm looking into possibly doing Law at Birmingham. I checked the course's standard offer and it's a 32/45 with a 666 at a Higher Level. I understand that due to my HL scores, I don't fully meet the standard offer and was wondering if there is still any chance of me being accepted into the course, especially considering that 4/5 of my UCAS options are for a different subject entirely and that will likely be reflected in my personal statement.

Any insight would be greatly, greatly appreciated :smile:

You need to email Birmingham to see if they will accept a Law application with a totally different subject Personal Statement - some Unis won't. You may be accepted with these HL achieved scores - again its worth asking Birmingham.
