I was glad to read all your comments, I think Sabrina opened the most useful and exciting topic in the England section of this website. My name is Daniel, and I am a fresh graduate of a Central European law school, and been dreaming about reading law in OX or CAM eversince I have started my terciary education. I am thinkin of applying for the 2006-2007 academic year. My big problem is that my acedemic records are really poor from the beginning of law school, and almost flawless for the last 3 years. Due to the fact that I started with a weak record I could only graduate with a Cum Laude, which is quite a common qualification. On the positive side, I have a pretty strong extracurricular backgroung, with lots of moot courts, and scholarships at other well known European universities. Many people have commented lots of absolutely different things on how much weight do they attribute to grades in the selection process. My question is what do you all think, can you compensate the weakness of your transcripts by other personal values, such as awards or recommendations? Thanks for your help, daniel
