Best chance to become a solicitor

Hi there, I want to become a solicitor so I am applying to Cambridge as an affiliated student this fall. I currently attend the University of Toronto and my GPA is just barely behind the first-class degree requirement. The difference is 0.02, so I’m not sure if it’s negligible enough to bump me to a first-class degree. With that said, I’m sure Cambridge is competitive enough where just barely meeting the requirement is grounds for rejection. There’s also the LNAT— which isn’t much of a problem because of my LSAT score/experience— however, the idea of sitting another exam on such short notice is daunting (the only availability is in just over a week).
This has me wondering if I should apply as an affiliated student for BA Geography instead. I have interest in the subject so I can write a good personal statement and, more importantly, the requirement is only a 2:1 which I’m far above. Since non-law students can become solicitors, especially with the Oxbridge advantage, the BA Geography seems like my best chance to become a solicitor.
I only recognized Law in the UK as a viable path over the weekend so I understand this plan is a bit haphazard. I plan on putting a UCAS application in, in addition to my US Law school applications, just to broaden my scope.
I’m posting this here for advice and/or criticism so if you have any please feel free to share.
