Hello all,

I'm a final year Law with History student from Dublin and I'm thinking of applying to some English colleges for an LLM. In particular, Cambridge,UCL,LSE and KCL.

Right now,my GPA is a very high 2.1.I'm 0.05 off a first degree.It seems a lot of these colleges require a first and I'm wondering if I would be better off waiting until after Christmas to apply,when my GPA will should be higher, or if I should just apply now and hope I get a conditional offer?

I'm aware that the closing date for Cambridge is before Christmas so this applies more to the other LLMs.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Apply as soon as possible. In fact, I think you should've applied earlier than late-November. Like you said, the worst thing that can happen is you getting a conditional offer that you'll be very likely able to meet.
