You got an offer from Durham, an LNAT uni, without doing the LNAT??:redface: How?


Posted from TSR Mobile


I'm international and have to sit the LNAT… probably the location matters, some countries do not have a lot of exam centres.
I'm an international student from NYC. I applied for Law at Oxford, Durham, KCL, Glasgow and Exeter, and my application was sent in last Friday. So far, I've only received confirmation emails from Oxford, KCL and Exeter. I took the LNAT yesterday, so I hope that now that I've taken it the offers start rolling in... :redface:

Yes i did from Durham .. now i am confused as to which one is better durham or QMUL... i am still waiting for oxbridge.. what shud i do.. plz let me know


Durham will make you more employable than QMUL. QMUL has a very good law school (better than its reputation says, from what I understand), but Durham has history on its side.

I am an international student, I didnt sit for LNAT.


I'm an international student as well but I sure as hell had to do the LNAT for Durham to even consider my application.

What's so special about you ??

Yes I got a conditional one but I have my sights set on Durham :smile:


i think user returnmigrant summed it up perfectly.

An Offer is not a Place.

Plenty of people made offers will either not make it their Firm, or not meet the required grades in August.

And Universities know this.

PS. You may also find that in the small print somewhere the 100% refers not to people who applied, but Peolpe Who Applied AND MET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COURSE.

Thanks for the information (really not intended to sound sarcastic) but I'm pretty sure we all know this.

Getting an offer (particularly the first offer one gets) obviously does not equal a place because that's a long way to go. Rather, to me (and majority of other people, I would assume) it means not getting a rejection, which I think is significant and worth being pleased about!

An offer is the first step... we can worry about offers now and then worry about actually meeting the conditions once the offer's been given

How did everyone find the LNAT, and what did you do to prepare for it?

She asked me about my grades and why I wanted to study Law/attend Durham. But the majority of the time she spent answering any questions I had about the school etc

really stressed that Exeter still hasn't given me an offer despite the fact I turned it in Oct 1 :confused::frown:

you are punishing yourself unnecessarily. the offers will roll in. if you have exams to sit for then jolly well go study for them. if you don't listen to what i say, next year when the exam results are released and you don't do well and you realize you have nowhere to go cos no university wants you then you'll probably wish you had listen to me today. the others here have had no experience with uni applications. i sure do. so i know what i'm talking about.

if you need additional motivation to study well let me tell you this then. if you're a UK/EU student you will be competing for a place at uni against an international student. an international student pays their uni fees upfront. a UK/EU student pays up only after they start earning a certain sum of money and this could take years in some cases. we also now know that many UK/EU students do not pay up their tuition loans but choose to abscond. so who do you think the uni will most like choose if it comes down to having to choose between you and your lousy grades and an international student with slightly better grades? think about what i said. think it through.

Can anyone tell me why Law with Politics (LLB) is AAB in the University of Manchester when straight Law is AAA? also does it mean that i would lose out on some oppurtunities that the straight law students get, studying abroad for example? Is it seen as a less prestigous degree to just striaght Law? Just making a few last minute decisions to my choices as i want to send my ucas today and hopefully get offers asap!
