Hey, I'm no Shrink, but the guy seems to have, well, issues....


Delusions. A mental health problem. He has seen doctors, they can’t help him anymore (his words). He must be a medical phenomenon.

They told me to study hard for A-Levels and apply for Law degrees at London universities: LSE, UCL, KCL, SOAS and QMUL. But they were surprised by me mentioning Oxford University. lol 😀 Because they had no idea that the entry requirements are just AAA and lower than the LSE, UCL and KCL. 😉

Those are your opinions, not mine. I would love to read Jurisprudence.
My application has gone in today…
But the dissertation is not fun and boring and you still could in Year 3 as one of your 5 optional papers.

I pray you get shortlisted for the interviews!!! 🙂

Where else have you applied to?

AAA is never ‘just’ - it takes a lot of hard work to gain those grades.

It is easier to achieve AAA in Maths, Further Maths, Spanish or French compared to English Literature, History and Philosophy. I personally can say there are tonnes of resources for A-Level Maths and A-Level Further Maths that it is not surprising high numbers achieve A* and A grades.

Which A-Levels are you doing? 😧

Thank you, that’s kind of you.
I have only applied to Oxford, Durham, and Nottingham.
I love London but my parents can’t afford for me to live there, hence so London unis on my app.
Just need a good MCQ score - I think I will have, but fingers crossed!

I agree that STEM and MFL subjects (in theory) would be easier to gain top grades.
I’m doing History, Eng Lit, Law - predicted all A*

Did you make use of the resources on 42 LNAT Prep? https://42lnatprep.com/collections/all

It boosted my confidence, especially the sample essays.

Download them before they go back to normal price.

Durham is too far for me and I would not like Nottingham being too far from London as well.

My cousin got an offer from Durham for Economics and she declined it and chose UCL.

I’ve done my LNAT.
I only used the two official past papers to revise section A.
I didn’t bother revising section B - essays are my bread and butter.

Wow...lots of essay writing.

I am amazed Paper 1 for French and Spanish is worth 50% and it is not too difficult either. But languages are still in major decline.

My plan is to make Mobile Apps on iOS, Windows and Android especially English in China, Brazil, Japan, Russia, India, Mexico and Eastern Europe.

42 LNAT Prep is amazing and as the admissions tutor told me: "LNAT score and essay would be considered very important in being shortlisted but is only one factor."

There have been instances of scores as low as 16, 19 and 23 in recent years.

Yes, why stop at Law and Accounting, may as well throw some Software Engineering in there too!

I saw my future unborn son win a place at MIT in MA, USA. Probably because I will continue my programming activities for an app like Facebook, Linkedln, Twitter X, VK, SnapChat, Weibo, WeChat, Instagram, Whatsapp and others. 😉 That's how one can become a multi millionaire or even billionaire. It is another reason why I would 'recruit' from Oxford, Cambridge, London, Durham, Warwick, York, Nottingham, Edinburgh, Bristol, Manchester, Leeds and Southampton. 🙂

I can lift 100kg from the ground to above my shoulders over my head. So, I would not have a problem lifting even the tallest models with very long legs that are 5ft 11 and above. 🙂

Dude, there's so much that goes over your head, there's no room up there for some catwalk honey let alone her Louboutins. Call Heathrow and ask for stacking.

Whatcha reckon for Warwick? That was my number two choice if Oxford had turned me down.

If I’m being really honest, I only really want to go to Oxford or Durham. I’ve put Nottingham too, but I think if I don’t get either Oxford or Durham, I would reapply next year with actuals, and spend a gap year trying to shadow a barrister and I would read even more than I already have. I don’t want to settle, and opportunities are rarely now or never (or so my Mum tells me).
