If I am not able to meet the offer?
Hi , Wed May 27, 2009 12:02 AM I have got offers from KCL , UCL and SOAS for an LLM conditional upon me obtaining a 2.1 in my LLB due for compleltion in June. However I have strong reason to believe now that I will narrowly miss the award of a 2.1 degree and will instead graduate with a high 2.2. Does anyone know if these schools accept candidates who narrowly miss their offers ?? Or is there an absolute bar on 2.2 degrees ?? Thanks. |

I am very interested in hearing the response as well. I may be in the same situation, and that may just, well, be tragic.

HiWed May 27, 2009 07:54 AM SOAS might, at a pinch, accept you but this would depend a lot on your transcript and English if applicable. It would also depend on how well subscribed the programme is. I think for KCL and UCL the answer would be no. Not too late to try other universities with less stringent entry criteria though. There will always be a place somewhere! |

I agree with TallTrees. SOAS might accept it but probably not UCL and KCL.

Both KCL and UCL sometimes accept candidates with 2:2 honours, provided however, that they have outstanding recommendations. It is hard to say that you have no chances upfrond. You should try anyway.Wed May 27, 2009 09:03 AM The answer to your question is "that depends..." I don't think that you will find better answer on this board. |

Agreed. If you have more than one offer, hopefully you have not rejected all except the one you were expecting to take up when it was made unconditional.Thu May 28, 2009 04:52 AM But, even if that is the case, you absolutely should contact the admissions offices by phone. Remember that if you have communicated your intention to accept a university's offer, they will be expecting you to take your place. Hopefully, whoever you speak with will see that missing the condition is mostly a technicality or the result of having to round the .4" down rather than the ".6" up. Try it.
