Bristol and Edinburgh Law chances?

I have an offer from Glasgow for common law, wasn't offered law but criminology at Nottingham, and rejected from Birmingham. I've been put on hold twice by Bristol and have heard nothing from Edinburgh. How are my chances for Bristol and Edinburgh looking? Any insight would help!

Do you meet the entry requirements for Edinburgh and Bristol? Do you know why you were rejected from Birmingham?

Yes, my grades are slightly above the requirement. And no, I was not given a reason for why I was rejected.

The fact that you have not been rejected yet means you are still in with a chance. Unis have another another month to make decisions and will still make offers up to the deadline.

I got rejected from Edi for law with above standard entry and the reason was too many able applicants. Now I'm a Scottish student and I'm guessing your English which puts you in a better situation but just to warn you having above required doesn't equal being accepted but wishing you luck :smile:

I’m international! And yes, I know that all too well 😭 but everything will hopefully turn out well! Good luck to you too.

Bristol will make offers right up to the deadline day in May - so hang on on there, and wait until you have their decision.

Hey im not sure about Edi but im also waiting on Bristol, my stats are 28 lnat, a*a*a predicted and decentish GCSEs. Im also home and non contextual. Im honestly losing hope with Bristol but they are known for giving out offers right up to may, and i have seen many offer holders with low stats. Im gonna wait it out but honestly the wait is killing me. Good luck to u x
