Oxford University

[cameo]

My daughter is planning on applying to Oxford Uni for next year.
She wants to study Law.
Does anyone have any opinions on the individual colleges?
Which ones might be better for Law or is an open application the best way to go?
Any advice would be gratefully recieved.

Thanks

Have you and your daughter read this page?

I am sure you know that the university departments at Oxford provide the courses, the colleges provide for the well-being/social development side of the individual. To that extent it doesn't mater which college is chosen.
Since your daughter is attempting to get onto one of the most difficult courses of the lot at Oxford (probably exceeded only by the demand for PPE), I would have though an open application was best.
The success rate (applications to acceptances) is about 20% - and she is going to have to have top A levels plus extras to stand a chance. Good luck.

If she takes a look at Cambridge go and see Claire its lovelly in town and not a museum.
AAA* though is the metric

Well, did this help? I'm starting to think that you aren't quite as grateful as you initially indicated.
It would be nice to get some sort of acknowledgement that you'd come back and read it - even if it wasn't what you were looking for.
Funny old thing, feedback.

THANKYOU for the advice.
Sorry I haven't replied earlier but I don't use answerbank like I used to so was not prepared to NOT get an e-mail telling me I had an answer. (This is what used to happen!)
I am always gratefull for any help and advice I receive.
