DS decided a couple of years ago that he wanted to do Law.
Without any input whatsoever from me, he's worked hard and done loads of work experience and useful extra-curricular stuff but now he's got his offers he's asking for my advice and I haven't got a clue.
In our entire extended family, he's the first person to go to uni and I just don't know anyone who has been through the process, and I certainly don't know anyone who works in the legal profession.
Basically he is predicted AAB in three facilitating subjects.
On his teachers advice he applied to three decent unis that require AAB for law, but they are not Russel Group.
He also put one RG uni that asks for AAA and one insurance choices that is RG but not well regarded for Law and requires ABB.
He submitted his form last Friday and by Monday had received offers from all five - brilliant news and we were really excited.
But now he wants my help making his choices. We are basing all of it on googling and trawling through places like Student Room but are just lost.
Basically it seems that a RG uni is very important for law, but he is worried that he won't make the AAA offer and it looks like his insurance ABB uni is not well regarded.
He likes all of his three non RG unis, and they've got good reputations, and one of them is willing to drop their offer if he firms them, but now our googling suggests he might not get a job after if he goes to any of them.
Please help. I think AAB predictions are good and he's so self-motivated and hard-working and I don't want to let him down. I'm jealous of all the families with knowledge and connections!
