Hello,
I'm an international student studying for an LLB in the UK (going into my final year). I currently have a high 2.1 (68.5%) from a good Russel Group uni. I am predicted to earn a first, having achieved straight firsts this year. Per my university's policy, given that I am within 2% of a first and have scored several, they will round me up so long as I maintain a 68%. Nonetheless, I am fully capable of bringing my score to at least 70% next year.
However, I performed absolutely abysmally during my first year and finished with a high 2:2. Fortunately, this didn't count for very much in regards to my degree classification.
I know Oxford says that they want a 1st, but for students who are currently at a very high 2:1 with a predicted 1st, do they ever issue conditional offers? If so, how often does this happen? Furthermore, do the conditional offers generally dictate a specific percentage, or merely a degree classification?
Thanks!
Does Oxford BCL Ever Make Offers to Applicants with an Achieved 2.1 and Predicted 1st?

From what I understand, they are rather strict on the 5% requirement.
This is what they say on their website:
Applicants are normally expected to be predicted or have achieved a first-class undergraduate degree with honours (or equivalent international qualifications) in law.
