A*A*B predicteds for Law

My stats are: 9888888886 Di
PS is strong- slaughter and May residential, work experience at law firm, writing articles for school newspaper about cases, bar mock trial
Strong ps and reference
AS Levels (achieved)- A B E I have mitigating circumstances of eviction and illness where the threat of homelessness was high
I’m also FSM so I meet contextual for most places- I feel like I could also get an A in the B subject (maths)
I’ve applied to Exeter Warwick and Oxford Foundation Year, I already got my Exeter offer of ABB and I’m considering Bristol but I’m very unsure about my last option- any advice would be appreciated!

Also I wanted to know does mitigating circumstances neutralize AS results?

Do you want to go to Exeter? I am assuming that is not a foundation year? What is your preferred uni option?

You can apply to any RG uni with those predicted grades and contextual eligibility.

I would approach your teacher about trying to get that B upped to an A if possible.

Unsure how the AS results and predicted grades will be viewed as unfamiliar.

I’ll use Exeter as my backup and I can’t change the B to an A unfortunately. With my stats are there any places in mind?

With your predicted grades, you will be considered for an offer anywhere.

Leeds has a generous contextual offer. As do Durham and Bristol. You will have to look yourself whether you are eligible for contextual offers at other RG unis as all unis differ on eligibility. Regardless, with your predicted grades, contextual eligibility is not relevant regarding getting an offer, and is only relevant once you receive an offer.

Are the AS grades also your predicted grades?
If you want the best uni possible, I would say you have the best chance with Cardiff, Liverpool, Sheffield, Newcastle and Southampton. This is regardless of contextual eligibility. The likes of Leicester and Lancaster are good options also.

No my predicted grades are A* A* B, my AS grades were done in Year 12 and it was A B E- the E was in maths and I was homeless and faced medical problems in this time

I believe Leeds consider AS grades? And as for Durham I feel like although my personal statement is quite strong I feel like because it’s so competitive the E in maths might make them reject me?
