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?
