Law Stats + What Unis to apply to

Hi,
My stats are

Predicted:
A*AAB
GCSEs ( are super uncompetitive):
5, 8, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 4, 6, 7, 6

Uni Choices:
1st choice : Kings or UCL ( but i feel this is quite aspirational considering my GCSE's )
SOAS
QMUL
Bristol?
5th choice : Royal Holloway


Do I have a chance at getting into Kings or UCL ? considering my less than average GCSEs?

Hi,

I hope you are well.

To answer your question, Kings hasn't listed GCSE requirements on its website, but UCL has, and their requirements are "English Language and Mathematics at grade B or 6."

But to add some context, universities prioritise your A-level grades as those are your most recent qualifications so please don't let your GCSE grades deter you from applying. Also, your application is considered holistically: work experience, mitigating circumstances and a real passion for the course you are applying to (in your personal statement) makes all the difference.

I hope that answers your questions. Please let me know if I can help with anything else.

Happy holidays! 🙂

Prob depends on your LNAT score. Kings especially puts a lot of weight on it I've heard.
