Default Are universities allowed to do this?
 
I just received an email from KCL in which they mentioned my actual LNAT score. Doesn't it kind of defeat the object of waiting until the end of January (and make it a little unfair) if universities dish out scores to applicants.

Well, unless they are under some sort of obligation to LNAT they are allowed to disclose stuff which they are privy to. Also, in medical records they can't refuse patients to see their own stuff any more, so there's no reason why they can't tell you their own LNAT score.

What now, seaspray, looking to do them over for breaching the rules as a petty get back?

Do you agree with the Uni's decision now that you have got your LNAT score?

No, I am just curious. You seem to get some sort of thrill out of criticising every single post I make on this forum. I'd appreciate it if you just ignored me, and I will happily do the same for you.

His failure to disclose it indicates that he was not happy with it... judging from past posts if he had any reason to complain it would be out there. However, I'm guessing he's going to blame it on the computer screen nature of the test, and tha tit shouldn't be used.

I'm just a bastard on-line because it allows me to speak my mind with no fear of retribution, people like me exist... get used to it.

No, but that's besides the point. I don't agree with the LNAT full stop.

*her.

Actually, I wasn't particularly disappointed with it. The reason I haven't disclosed it is because I wasn't sure if I was 'allowed'.

Come on, we are all curious now - it could never come back on you anyway - I'm sure no-one is going to go to the trouble of finding out who you are just because you disclosed your LNAT score.

And does this mean I can call Bristol and ask them my LNAT score?!

15/30. A solid 50% :o

Hence I was rejected by KCL as it was below their "minimum entry requirement" of 16/30. I knew straight after the exam that I had done terribly, so I am not too disappointed. Not sure about the essay component, I actually thought that that section went quite well.

I kinda guessed it was 15 you got!

Don't think it's anything to be ashamed of, to be honest.

This is very true. i cant understand why you sit in front of your screen for alot of your time and criticise people so harshly. you do like to offer some halpful advice but the rest is unnecessary rudeness. and you shouldnt not speak your mind away from the net just because u fear retribution, though if fear is an issue to you then thats cool. why not just be nice?

Ignore him, he only does it over the internet because he doesn't have the balls to do it to someones face.
