Oxford BCL and Cambridge LLM Applicants 2009


Cedric

Jag, the stick has nothing to do with Oxbridge, worry not.

Cedric, I think it is a similar situation for most of us. Anyway, I wouldn't worry for now. The only offers we have heard of now is one to a PHD student and another to an LLM applicant with a special request. We have not heard of some super excellent students getting them yet.


very true, AlvinSee !
What's your profile and did u apply to ox and cam or also to others?

As far as getting in with super-excellent candidates is considered, one should bear in mind that they also reject poor applications at that stage.

I would rather get in late than being clubbed for the worse with the first group.

My new word 'super-excellent' is gaining support !

What is your profile, jagsmehn?

super-excellent is a good word.

One could suggest it to them during the pre-sessionals.

Cedric, I've graduated from Leeds Uni. But the only thing that worries me is that I've transferred there only to read my year 3 on a 2+1 programme. So, basically, my year 1 and 2 are done in Malaysia.

I see, Alvin. Your law school only took 3 years? I've heard about 4 year programs but not about 3 years. How does it work?

Jagshemn and Alvinsee,

I see. I am not that familiar with those systems.
I am from Belgium, where I also completed my law degree (which took 5 years). I applied to Ox and Cam. And also to King's as a reserve option :)

Now knowing where you guys are from, I realise why you are so proficient in English (I was impressed by the level of the English used in your posts) !

If you're applying to Oxford, I suppose you're applying for the MJur then?

Yes, if there would be no other option...
I feel that Ox and Cam are just the best and I would reluctantly settle for a "second" choice.

What would you do if you don't get into Oxbridge? Or are you quite certain you will make it?

My chances are 50:50 I think.

Anyway, I'm actually bound to do my pupillage with a law firm. If I do get my Oxbridge offers, I still need to talk to them about the deferral. If I don't, I will just do my pupillage as planned.

Haha no actually, it's totally random! :D Oh yea I have a Plan B as well, LSE and UCL. For me I've only applied to Cambridge since Oxford BCL's modules do not have direct relevance to the stuff I want to study, which is corporate governance.
