Imagine shopping for a new laptop. From a distance they all look very similar - black, sleek and shiny - but look closer and you'll find they all have individual features that make them different. Try to pick one based on overall impressions alone and you would probably pick the most eye-catching without any idea if it could do the job required. This is similar to the job many university law school admissions tutors are asked to do: to pick from thousands of almost identical applications from academic high achievers, all eager to win a place to study undergraduate law. With more than a quarter of all A-level candidates (27%) gaining an A or the new A* grade last year, and competition for university places becoming ever fiercer as government funding for higher education is cut, the task of differentiating between candidates will inevitably become even more difficult.
