I have a problem: I have a limited number of recommendation letters so i can't apply to all law school in London area.
So I was wondering how selective is SOAS? I mailed them about entry requirements for my country and I explained them our grade scales and my grades and I only got a response that "I should apply" and that they need "high grades" ( whatever that means ).
I am interested in their programme MSc Finance and Financial law ( does anybody have any experience with this programme?)
So now I'm really confused and don't know if I should bother to apply there. My grades aren't exactly excellent, because probably 5% of students at our University actually get great grades. I also don't have any relevant work experience as I recently graduated..

Well I mentioned my average grade to them ( but they didn't comment on them ). They obviously don't know our grading system and that is discouraging me from applying there....
Also what are the universities that accept colored photocopies? I've looked everywhere and everybody accepts only confidential recommendations in sealed letters..
