What are my chances of entering Warwick, Edinburgh and Bristol for law?

Hello!

I do apologize to you all for disturbing you guys with this question and because this might be 'overly ambitious'.

Can I ask you guys for your opinion on how bad my chances are for entering the following aspirational universities for Law LLB?

I am currently in year 12 starting Year 13 this upcoming year and I sat one essay based subject this year and achieved an A*, and I am predicted A*AB in my other A Levels and I am a home student eligible for contextual offer.

I have done a range of extracurriculars including the Summer School at a top university for Law, work experience in Law, MOOCs from prestigious universities and I've participated in various outreach programmes.

My GCSEs are horrible at 5555794332 with a 5 in Language and 4 in Maths but I sat them the same academic year I started a UK school and lacked the proper support and this will be mentioned in my references I believe.

It is very arrogant for me to say but I think my personal statement MIGHT be probably decent although I am working on it and I will do my best to improve it.

It might sound very childish but Bristol is my dream University and though I am revising for the LNAT, I am currently averaging 13/42 on the LNAT test papers on their website and 29/42 on the LNAT Ultimate Guide 2022 and I have had my essays looked at by my teacher who said they were excellent, do I stand a chance?



Thank you all! :biggrin:

Don't worry. Yoy are doing very good. Set your target and work hard. Do add 1 to 2 safe choices, just in case.

Keep up your effort and good luck.

Bristol assesses Law applications with these weightings - GCSE 20% / A levels 40% / LNAT 40%. Your GCSE score therefore is a very little significance, and the majority of people getting offers from Bristol will have an LNAT score in the middle-twenties. Stop worrying.

Thank you so much! Do you think my GCSEs are fine for Bristol?

If your A level grades and LNAT scores are okay, it wont make any significant difference.
Just apply.
