Law with only 90+? Which university are you planning on going to?

i'd change general maths to mathematics [higher level of maths is always better when push comes to shove]
ancient history to modern history [ancient history won't help much in law except if it touches on the evolution of law in ancient societies/cultures.

a high level of english is good for law.

i'd suggest dropping PD for economics or something that is applicable to law.

legal studies will be a good base for law at uni.

and im sure knowing 2 languages would be beneficial when job searching.


but if your aiming for law [98+] from memory, you'll need to work hard in the subjects no matter what.

You can't change subjects now, it's to late.

You can get into Business/Law with 90 @ UWS. Yeah, yeah I know, the stigma of it all, but hey, law is better than something like midwifery, no?

You can get in with an 80-85 as well for said degree. Provided you get a band 6 in legal studies, or if you live within the western Sydney area. Meeting each of those gives you 5 extra UAI points, so if you meet both, you get 10 extra UAI points, which means you get in.

To answer your question, yeah, it's possible. Just hit the 90s in every subject.
