[QUOTE="Alison C, post: 114507, member: 3943"] Following on from what [USER=16519]@shannontongg[/USER] said yesterday, regarding the GDL, I had a place at both U Law and BPP. BPP rang me to offer a discount (they said this was related to my academic prowess but I didn't quite buy it) and I couldn't take the call (I was working), so they emailed it. A week or so later they offered further discounts over the phone. I preferred U Law so wasn't interested in the lower price offering. I couldn't achieve that lowest price from U Law but they did price match the emailed discount (ie they would match what I had in writing from BPP). In terms of 'ranking', the two providers are aware that they are essentially in competition. The best strategy may be the most straightforward one - after all, the reality is that you'd have to relocate, probably to London which is more expensive, to take up a place even WITH a scholarship/bursary/discount. So maybe consider putting BPP first, rather than tying yourself in knots trying to second guess what they might and might not charge you. You could put them both on the basis that you are doubling your chance of accessing scholarships but that will be extra work. You also say you want to stay in Cambridge, but a lot can happen in 6 months (if you are looking at an October start). So applying to both providers would keep your options open until things become clear. Good luck, in any case! [/QUOTE]
