Hey, so I’m in Year 13 and predicted A*AD, and I recently sat my final set of mocks and ended up with an E in psychology. This was meant to be my last chance to bring my predicted up, and I completely flopped. My teacher might let me do a December resit to try and improve it, but its not guaranteed. I really wanted to apply for Law LLB, and my original uni choices were City Uni, Sheffield, Nottingham, Southampton, and Leeds (or Queen's Uni Belfast). I’m also eligible for contextual offers, but I don’t want to rely fully on that since it’s not a guarantee. To be honest, I think part of the reason I do so badly is because I barely put effort into Psychology and mainly focused on my other two subjects (Criminology and Sociology) and kind of neglected it. But I genuinely believe I can bring it up to at least a B by the end of A-Levels if I stay consistent and put the work in from now.
I know Law is one of those subjects where the uni you go to really matters for career prospects, especially because I really want to work in London at a Magic Circle law firm or any other top law firm (I know kinda unrealstic but still), so I want to make sure I’m being smart about where I apply. I also know there are other routes into law, like doing Criminology and then a Law conversion, but honestly, I’d prefer to go straight into an LLB Law degree if possible.
Please if I could get your opinons and advise on this, I would be very gratful.
