vintagetimetable Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 I'm so insanely nervous for the future. Because almost every law student in UCL or Oxbridge who did IB did English Lit HL. The thing is, in my school, only one person in the past 50 years has achieved a 7 in HL Lit. So I opted for Lang Lit HL, but I'm worried it'll weaken my application. I'm almost done with my first term in IB Y1. My scores are as follows. HL Lang Lit- 7 HL History- 7 (my teacher will 100% predict me a 6 though) HL Econ- 7 SL Math AA- 7 SL Bio- 7 SL Spanish B- 7 For ECs, I am on my school's MUN team, am an award-winning public speaker (silver and golds in our regional competitions), run an Economics club and our school's TED-ed club, have won awards in the Scholastic Writing Competition. On LNAT practices, I'm getting around 27-28. Would I have a change for Oxbridge or UCL if I maintained these scores? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaby Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 I had offers from both Oxford and UCL with English B HL. My LNAT was 30, I think, and I had similar ECs. I don't think it matters whether you do Lit or Lang and Lit, there are no required subjects for law. People get into law with maths and sciences at HL. It is, still, a bit of a lottery with Oxbridge, so no one will guarantee you'll get in, but you appear to be a strong candidate. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing that you got into such great unis (and that excellent LNAT score!) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend got a 45 on her IB and didn't make it into Oxford... Fingers crossed though! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
