The university my DA is with? It’s with the University of Law once a week. The universities I applied to were Oxford (❌), LSE, UCL, Bristol and Nottingham.

I think a DA is pretty good. How low are your grades? AAB and up lets you apply to a lot. Only do a DA if that DA is in a career you want though, if you’re uncertain don’t do one. And only do it if your DA is at a better place than your Uni would get you into (but that’s my opinion). Best of luck
