Getting into Oxford
Okay I've been reading the posts and replies on this forum with interest for a while now and, although a lot has been said on the topic, I will like to know what you guys think my chances are with regards to getting into Oxford (BCL)/ LSE (LLM).Tue Feb 19, 2008 12:55 PM I graduated last year from the University of Reading with a 2.1 (65%). My final year results were 4As, a B and a C, however my 1st and 2nd year results are nothing to write home about due to documented extenuating circumstances (Else, I might have gotten a first!!! (lol). I havent got a lot of UK legal experience but I have done a couple of legal internships in Africa and volunteer work. I already have an unconditional offer from UCL (and this was before I even got my 2.1) which I have deferred. I am currently working as a researcher for a financial consultant in the City. I really really want to go to Oxford and although my referees are confident of my chances, I wanted to find out from you guys so I would really appreciate your honest opinion as I am tearing my hair out with worry at the moment!!! P.S - I have recently been advised by my uni that I graduated in the top 15% of my year. Is this information that might aid my application or will it hinder it? [Edited 21 Feb 2008 by cutestchic] |
