Same here. Tried to see if I could reset the pin - but needed an answer to a security question. Oh well, knew applying to Durham would involve long waits.

Hi. Can I ask what email and pin you’re talking about please? Just wondering if I’ve missed something

It was an application confirmation email - received it a week after I submitted the form. It includes a student ID number for their applicant portal but they haven’t sent the separate email containing the PIN number you need to log in.

I'm an international (EU) student applying for law LLB. I'm only taking LNAT next week so super nervous about that.

Good luck to everyone though <33

Hiya

I'm a law finalist at Durham and took the LNAT as well so I know how daunting it can seem! If you'd like to read some advice, I've given some on the threads linked below. But overall I'd say keep practicing and give yourself enough time to read the passages in MCQs. If you can't figure out an answer, it's best to move on to the next question and come back to it later. Try to leave some time at the end to go over your answers, and especially to spot any grammatical/spelling errors in the essay.

hi i saw that there’s the upload documents thing on the UG applicant portal under the to do tasks. i’m applying for compsci and i haven’t received an email saying that i should upload anything.
also, did we have to choose our college when we submitted the application? i don’t think i put anything and it just says O on my application

If you haven't been asked to upload anything you should be fine :smile:

And everyone's application will say O, you pick your college preferences if and when you get an offer rather than upon application.

My application says Z... What does that mean?

O means open and Z means unallocated (it'll stay that way on UCAS - colleges are now done outside of UCAS). So either is fine and doesn't affect colleges at a later stage :smile:

Thanks... but what's the difference really? Is it the same thing?
