Hi friends... Even the deadlines are far for the law schools except LSE/CAM/OX... Do we still have to apply early ?
Is that they will prefer a candidate with fewer credentials,work ex. provided he/she applied earlier than a candidate with better credentials.... i can say this because people have got the offer letters even the deadline is far...

I don't think so... they have got their offers because they are obviously excellent candidates...that's my opinion. of course, it won't hurt if you apply early, but it definitely won't get you in with poor credentials either. Good thing about applying early is that you may hear from them sooner, but the bad thing is that you will probably work less on your application. that is why I have submitted both of my apps at the very last moment...:)

btw, are you sure about the deadlines for LSE??

I believe you are right... But as LSE announced their first decision by this week( around 20th of Jan), how can we say that still there is a chance for a late applicant?.. Furthermore all best candidates applid to LSE and i believe most of them could have done up to the mark to qualify the LSE criterion( for all 200 seats)... So in such case if LSE offer those candidates for an admission for all the seats (200 seats) than what is the scope for us?

but that's the thing - they won't give out all of their offers at this moment...only to applicants who are clearly outstanding and far above their criterion... otherwise there would be no deadlines at all! or the deadlines would be much shorter...
don't worry, I'm sure you'll get in if you are qualified, no matter when you submit your app.
You can always e-mail them and ask how that goes...maybe there's a catch that I'm unaware of :)

Early application is always a plus, as it shows your determination and makes life of the administration easier. So I would always recommend applying as early as you can.
