    For taking admission in any UK university, the UCAS scoring system is applied and it is entirely based upon post-GCSE qualifications for instance as A-levels or the International Baccalaureate. GCSE results don't count for UCAS scoring purposes. However it doesn't mean that university panels of admissions don't take GCSEs into account. Oxford's law school states "most of those admitted will either had or be predicted to get all As at A-level or equivalent, and will already have an outstanding group of GCSEs or equivalent dominated by A*s and As". It's unlikely that they will differentiate between applicants who have 8, 9 or 10 GCSEs as long as there is clear prove that the applicant is of the set academic standard, while in Cambridge, admission standards are set by individual colleges no specific authority of Law is working for this purpose but the same principles are likely to use .

    You should have some knowledge that some independent schools tried to push their students towards Oxford or Cambridge universities simply because this will impress the parents of theur students. So it is recommended that don't limit your choices to these two universities. If you get the real knowledge and manners then a law degree from the University of London, for example, is at least as good as compared to an Oxbridge law degree.
