[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 184057, member: 36777"] I agree with [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] that this isn't an issue at application stage. If anything, taking part of a research project at Oxford should be quite helpful in setting you apart from the crowd as a particularly high-achieving candidate. However, once you get to the AC/final interview, I think you should be prepared to be probed on your motivations for why commercial law rather than sociology research? In one of my final interviews I was questioned time and time again on why law rather than philosophy - and this was only because I was a delegate at a philosophy olympiad back in my final year of high school. As such, if I were you once I got to that stage I would try to come up with a really through and convincing line of reasoning and I would try to anticipate any further follow-up questions. [/QUOTE]
