Good enough for Law at Oxbridge?

Question

If I were to get 5As in my A Levels, would that be good enough to read Law at Oxbridge?
Also, which university is better for Law - Oxford or Cambridge?
Pls note I will be classified as an international student if I apply there.

Answer 1

A couple of years ago, a British girl with top A-levels applied for medicine at Oxford and was turned down. There was a big political dust-up, mostly because she was a state school pupil and from the North of England. Unfortunately for the critics, Oxbridge also turn down plenty of applicants from London and the South of England, even when they have top A-levels from famous fee-paying schools.

Oxford and Cambridge are a different way of life from other U.K. universities, and their admissions offices are responsible for identifying which students will blossom in their unique environment, and which ones would just wither. Your A-levels are only a small part of it. Good luck.
