Chance me on Bristol Law

Hello ladies and gentlemen here are my stats

Predicted Grades A*A* B
AS Levels: A B E (extenuating circumstances- housing insecurity and homelessness and illness)
GCSEs: 9 8888 8888 6 Di
LNAT: I believe from the Jindal Method it’s around 17-19 (extenuating circumstances still had an effect as it’s been an ongoing issue since May)
My PS and my reference are super strong but I believe they don’t look at them.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated- Bristol is one of my better options (other options are Warwick, York and Exeter and Oxford Foundation, yet this is FY is my biggest reach choice).

Forgot to add I am also contextual!

19 MCQ is a low LNAT score for Bristol - and Bristol's assessment weightings are 20% GCSE / 40% A levels / 40% LNAT. Btw 'contextual' doesn't change this assessment, just the grade offer you get if you are made an offer.

The reason I added contextual was because I heard that they are much more forgiving with ‘weaker’ applications

They may make concessions for lower grade expectations because of 'educational disadvantage' - but the whole point of LNAT is to test your intellectual aptitude for Law, and so that aspect isn't going to be 'flexible', LNAT is only used by eight Unis - so if your LNAT score is low, just apply to other Universities.
