Resits and law

I am going to resit as i was predicted A star, AA but achieved ABC which was crazy to me
Im redoing chemistry and history and hoping for at least A’s in both if i apply myself
I was thinking of applying for Warwick, Birmingham and Nottingham along with some others for Law
Do they have something against resits, do they need a reason? (For context I had some serious issues :smile:) is there anything wrong with resitting? Im asking as i dont want to get to the stage and get rejected because of this.

Hey, I resat my A-levels and will be starting university to read Law this year. You would need to email the unis directly. I think most RG universities accept resits.

There's nothing wrong with resitting. I didn't meet the conditions of my offer last year and got pretty poor grades, but now I'm off to study law at a RG uni! Your referee will need to mention your extenuating circumstance. As PS are getting scrapped, I'm not particularly sure how it'll work, but you ought to mention a little bit about how you've grown as a student.

Thankyou! Do you have any ideas?

Regarding whether they accept resits? I did not apply to any of your mentioned unis. For context, I applied to university of Manchester, university of Sheffield, university of Bristol, Durham university and LSE. All of them accept resits. However, LSE doesn’t particularly like resit applicants and it’s also very rare to receive an offer from them as a resit applicant.

You could approach this different way and start your Law degree now. We offer LLB (Hons) Law (2-year degree) | University of Buckingham in just 2 years, there's plenty of Work Experience for Law Students | University of Buckingham available along the way and you could even stay on for a LLM Law with SQE1 Preparation | University of Buckingham too. By not resitting and getting on now, you would save 1 year of resits and 3 years at a RG uni, instead replacing this with 2 years at The University of Buckingham and saving 2 years. The professional exams will follow so you are looking at a lot of time invested. Just thought it might be something worth considering before resitting.
Good luck

What school do you go to? As they can include all of that in your extenuating circumstances?
