Hi all, I know it is very late for me to start a new application this year, but I would like to ask if there is a probability for me to be offered a place in either UCL or KCL, though I have been offered a place in Bristol and Manchester.

I am Chinese and doing a 3 year LLB with Swansea Uni, which is a UK average university in Wales, in the first year I have got only 54 average marks, and 60 exactly in year 2, and the average score of my last semester is 66. Plus I have been working as paralegal and immigration caseworker since the year 2 of the Uni.

I called UCL today and described my academic situation in brief, the officer said "I encourage you to start your application".......

Would you think if I have any chance to be offered a place by UCL or KCL for 2016 entry ?

Sorry to inform you bad it would be very hard to get accept:/
Kings college especially require s 2years practice in law and it is suggested to be in the top 5% of your class.
Moreover,applicants with such minimums have been rejected.
Good luck anyways

Minimum requirements to be considered for the LLM:
Undergraduate degree with high 2:1 honours (i.e. overall average of at least 65%) in Law or a degree with at least 70% law content, or an equivalent international qualification and grading.

Exceptionally, you may be considered where a comparable academic level has been achieved through other graduate studies (such as a Graduate Diploma in Law) and where work or experience (at least three years legal work experience) has made you a suitable candidate for the LLM.http://www.kcl.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/taught-courses/master-of-laws-llm.aspx

Quite interesting, also the past years:

I suppose, some people are exaggerating with their credentials (work experience = pqe)?

I don't think this is true. I know several people who got accepted by KCL and did not belong to the top 5 % (or even top 30), nor did they have any work experience.

The only advice can be to try. There's nothing to lose.

Dude we both gave you some info advice but you have to make your own research just check threads concerning those programs or even contact with admissions office.

How about you try? Sometimes these decisions appear very random to me and also, the longer you wait, the smaller your chances.
Give it a shot - there's nothing to lose but you can only win.

Got my fingers crossed for you mate
Cheers

Hi!
I think you should definitely try! I am also at a rather average Uni (Kingston) but have been offered a place at both as well as Durham and LSE. I do not have much experience (2 months last summer) and my conditions are 60% for UCL and Durham, 65% for KCL and 70% for LSE. From your description it seems as if a year 3 overall of 60% is certainly possible! :)

Hi, I applied last month to KCL. Since the admissions requirements include two letters of reference, I had them ready for my application. However, when I started my application, I there was a message saying that KCL only requires the references in extreme cases. So I did not have to upload the letters. A week later I recieved a conditional offer (English language entry requirement).

Considering that, I think that if you submit a REALLY GOOD personal statement, maybe they could ask you for the reference letters... Or maybe they could make an exception in your case.

If I were you, I would apply and I let them make a decision.
