I recently finished the BA in Jurisprudence, which is Oxford's version of the LLB.
I managed to scrape a First, barely making the cutoff, though I did reasonably well across all modules. I don't yet know my exact class rank but I estimate it to be around 80-85th percentile.
It seems that a lot of people who get the top LLMs have high firsts ranked in the 95th-99th percentile. Do I have a realistic chance of getting HYS, assuming I have decent softs but nothing out of the ordinary? Will the Oxford name help or is it based mainly on the numerical grades like with JD admissions?
Oxford law graduate, chances of HYS LLM?
