chloeolut Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Ok, they're pretty good. Just work harder! PUSH YOURSELF! Which subjects are you taking? Edited October 13, 2015 by chloeolut Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beth- Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I doubt you will get into Oxford with those grades. Possibly Bristol or Leicester, but Oxford's requirement is quite high and I doubt 34/42 is enough. I'd still advise you to apply though.

Award Winning Boss Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Sorry those shouldn't be happening. Your application is based on predicted grades (34/42) not what you think you're going to get at the end. So that's how you should apply. Currently you're: 4 points off Oxford and LSE1 point off KCL 2 points off Bristol (only just make it for the contextual offer) You satisfy Leicester by 1 pointIf we add one point for bonus points, only KCL comes back into view. You should also keep in mind most of them have HL requirements too (usually an 18 point minimum. Right now, you actually have 3 dreams (Oxford, LSE, Bristol), 1 safe/back up (Leicester) and 1 maybe (KCL). That doesn't bode well because it means you've either not researched well enough or been told bad information. I'm not saying any of this to be mean but all the universities will have a wealth of well qualified applicants and they can very easily just ignore the people who don't meet their entry requirements. So remove Oxford and LSE, give yourself more time to search options and change accordingly. If, when you get your grades, you find you've got 38 - 40 points, apply again. 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lola 22 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Does this mean the entry requirements do not include TOK/EE/CAS POINTS? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Award Winning Boss Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Does this mean the entry requirements do not include TOK/EE/CAS POINTS? They do include TOK/EE points but you haven't specified them (final offers are done out of 45 points). However, even if you add 3, you still shouldn't apply for Oxford and LSE since there's a good chance you'd be rejected from both, just wasting your choices.

AnastasiaVr Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Maybe you could have a look at York. They require 36 points if i recall correctly. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaby Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I would say Queen Mary and Newcastle both have really good law schools, if you get 2 bonus points. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Award Winning Boss Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Alright..thank you so much.if i remove oxford and LSE then which univ would you suggest to me? I can't do that for you at the moment. Some others have given suggestions in this thread. Since you have more time to complete your application, I'd recommend taking some time to research your options (for example, you might reach the requirements of one university but not like how the course is taught). 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
