which law university can I apply to with AAC?

With already achieved A-level grades, AAC in chemistry biology and economics, which law universities can I apply for? I want to aim for Russell Group universities and universities with a good reputation. I don't really want to be applying to unis with requirements like BBC or BCC as my main options.

Most RGs probably won't accept you with a C unless you get contextual offers or have extenuating circumstances. Your best bet would be to resit the subject you got a C in and preferrably get an A or A*

I can't because i have taken a gap year already, if not RG then which ones should I apply to? I was thinking I can resit economics after getting into law course and then apply to RG university. I need to be in uni for 2026 entry.

You could try and call some AAB or ABB unis and see if they'd accept you since you're one grade below. If not imo it's still better to take a 2nd gap year to resit rather than join a uni you don't like and drop out afterwards. Was there any specific unis you wanted?

The problem is my parents, they already have a problem with my first gap year. I don't mind a second gap year to go to the uni I want. But as long as I am in uni, I can change later. I was aiming for universities with a good reputation and possibly RG, not any specific ones. I know some people who Birmingham and Cardiff have accepted for law with AAC, but their predicted grades were higher, and they didn't apply with final grades.

On this note, I am predicted an A*A*C, as well as an A* in EPQ (1 mark off 100%), but I am scared the C means I cannot really apply to any place which requires A*AA, even though it is the same in equivalences because the C is too low.
