LNAT: doing it on Nov 30th- is that pretty late?
Current status: About to send my application in

Not late at all - I'd be surprised if many law offers have even gone out at that stage.

Oh sweet- so are offers for law generally given out later than other subjects?

Hi! I have done my LNAT and my essay was dreadful, i was running out of time and I just completely messed it up, does anyone know if there is any point in applying to UCL and KCL?

If you're 80%+ sure it went bad, and I mean baaaaad then maybe apply to neither. 50% sure? Then just apply to one. Otherwise, both.

I think the LNAT is that kind of admissions test where you'll walk out there having absolutely 0 clue what is going to happen, the MCQs are unpredictable and the essay is obviously a subjective element.

So I think it's best you don't apply to 5 LNAT-requiring universities, but don't necessarily rule out ones you like because you think it went badly.

Thanks! But do you know if the LNAT essay, forget about the first section, the questions, matters a lot? Would they reject an applicant, only because their essay was really bad?

No, absolutely not. Unlike the UKCAT (for example), there is no definite 'pass mark' for any university. So, it'd be really unlikely for a university to reject someone based solely on the LNAT - they take a comprehensive approach looking at each and every aspect of the application. Don't worry yourself, the LNAT is by no means the be all and end all!
