Chances for Oxford/UCL/LSE

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm planning to apply for Law at all three of these universities.</p>

<p>Current Scores:</p>

<p>SAT World History: 720
AP: 4,4,4,3 (extenuating circumstances)
LNAT: 26</p>

<p>Predicted Scores:</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning: 2200
SAT Lit: 750
SAT Bio: 710
SAT Math: 700
SAT Spanish: 700
AP: 5,5,5,5,4
LNAT: 30</p>

<p>Awards:
AP Scholar with Honor
AP Scholar with Distinction (eligible as of next year)
AP International Diploma (eligible as of next year)
Numerous speech & debate international and school-wide competitions </p>

<p>On Oxford's website, it says that SAT IIs are a substitute for APs, so hopefully my poor AP scores won't be too much of a detriment?</p>

<p>Also, is there any point in resitting some of my APs last year? I had to have surgery before the exams, and that really tanked my scores. Given a chance to retake them, I'm positive I can get 5s.</p>

<p>Oh, and I have a strong personal statement and recommendations.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Oxford - No Chance
LSE - No Chance
UCL - Slight Possibility</p>

<p>They frown heavily on resits so that’s a concern for you. Also, as it is they consider the american education system quite weak so your awards in general dont mean much. They are least bothered with EC’s like school competitions etc.</p>

<p>All they care about is numbers and very high ones at that, they prefer applicants with the british education system since its more rigorous. CIE administers british exams world wide so most international applicants use scores from that to get in. Most are national award winners for specific subjects. Example, Highest in xx country for xxx subject in CIE Exam Session 2013</p>

<p>To get in as an american, all your scores have to be super high, like harvard high but they don’t care about EC’s. That’s the only difference.</p>
