I literally went on the website at 6:00 and all the spots till Oct 20 were booked guys😮‍💨. Managed to book a spot at an exam centre like 40mins away at 8am (on Oct 10 the weekend tho!!!!).

I recently realised that I want to apply to KCL for Law and, whilst browsing through their website, i saw that they have a course for Politics, Philosophy and Law.

Now, I have little knowledge of Politics and Philosophy as I've been planning to apply to Law as a singular course.

However, Politics and Philosophy do intrigue me quite a bit and I feel like being able to study these subjects alongside Law and being able to see their links to Law would be really interesting.

My supercurriculars are all focused on Law itself, though I've read Bringing Down Goliath which does link the Law to Parliament a fair bit. I've also started reading John Locke's 2nd Treatise of Government which links to philosophy.

Does anyone know whether it would significantly lower my chances of getting an offer if I apply to PPL instead of just Law? I'm predicted 3 A*'s but I feel like my personal statement being solely about Law could be a problem.

I'm also applying to Cambridge so I don't have that much time to do a lot of extra supercurricular exploration so starting to read about politics and philosophy now isn't really a great solution.

For context: I'm predicted A*A*A* (got A*A*A in my mocks) and an A in EPQ. I was originally only going to apply to two A*AA unis: Cambridge and Bristol, for law, and then apply to Nottingham and 2 other schools with AAA entry requirements. But, would it be smarter to apply to one or two other A*AA universities and only have Nottingham as a safety?

edit: gcse grades: 9988877777 for anyone wondering. also, sorry for triggering yall by calling unis "schools" but like idk what else i'd call them "educational institutions" "buildings that leave you in debt for the next 30 years of your life"?

For context, Uni of Bristol is currently my 2nd top uni (after Cambridge, so I'd classify it as my top choice just because Cambridge is so competitive).

I liked the city when I went there (though the hills were very exhausting), and the Bristol Law lecture was really interesting.

The most appealing aspects of Bristol for me were the fact that: it's a highly ranked uni; it's not as big and busy as London but not as isolated as Durham; from what I've heard it's quite prestigious for law, the university buildings look really nice, the city is very green, which is an important factor for me. Also, the law school doesn't take into account personal statements, which is so bizarre to me??! (might just be because I'm used to Cambridge caring a lot about supercurriculars though idk)

However, I've only read negative things about the uni online, so I want to know what studying at Bristol is really like and whether it is worth even applying there.

No one in my family has gone to a UK university (still a home student tho), and I'm navigating all of this by myself, so I just want to find out whether applying will be a good choice or not.
