Re: University choice? (Bristol)

I am really wanting to study Law at Bristol uni, but don't know whether I should use an application for it due to my stats. I achieved very mid GCSE's around 4s and 5s with my highest a 7. I am taking a BTEC, which they accept, and am predicted D*D*D. I believe I may also meet eligibility for a contextual offer (hopefully). Depending on how my LNAT goes, would you say it's worth just going for it, or is it not worth my time using 1 of my 5 applications.
Bro pls give me advice
So my school has decided predicted grades andI’m at A* A* B . In bio chem and mathsrespectively. I rlly wanna apply for medicine thisyear, I haven’t been doing so well in maths tho. Myschool says they have a no leniency policy aboutpredicted grades, and they won’t change predictedgrades after the summer. But say if I do rlly well inmy ucat, do u think I could convince my teacher tochange my predicted grade from B to an A?? Bc ifI get a high ucat , and I’m already predicted A* A*in bio and chem - maths is the only thing stoppingme. If I don’t get A in maths then I have to take agap year just bc of my maths grade 💔

Hi @Jasmine6789,

It's is understandable to be worried about your predicted grade. However, many universities will give you an offer if you are within 1 or 2 grades from your required grades as they understand that students have time to improve before the final exams. It would be best to focus on the ucat for now. This policy does vary between universities and courses so I would reccommend asking the universities you are applying to over email or at an open day what their approch is.

Hope this advice helps
