Law Applicants 2011 Offer Thread

Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Reading and Warwick.

You?

Northumbria(We shall not speak of that... place)

Hey! Don't speak ill of it, I defended it in my interview

They were my only offer last year So I have a soft spot for them.

They stalked me via email... And their Law tour was 'We've got loads of computers us' :P

What did they ask in your interview like?

Oxford, UCL, Warwick, Newcastle and Northumbria(We shall not speak of that... place)

The wait for Warwick until March is a bit annoying. Have you visited it at all?

Lnat say on their website that the ideal essay length is about 500 words, so don't worry on that count. It's the strength of your argument that matters. And if you only guessed the last 5 and spent time on the others and got them right, then that sounds like a pretty good score to me, and sounds like pretty sensible tactics. Good luck.

Nor can I usually On my LNAT, there was this disgusting question about percentages that ate up literally 5 minutes of my time (I didn't want to just move on as it's one of those where if you have enough time, you'll work it out) so when I got home, I researched how to do them properly and found I'd got it right.

Ha! I might not go as far as that, but many places say that a good LNAT masks other parts of your application, so 90%+ I assume pretty much covers all the bases. Last year I didn't really know either, but this year I bought a book on the LNAT, and it had a quick summary of results and demographics ect.

Yeah, we find out on the 31st of January apparently, and apparently 25+ would be seen as "good" (at least by Durham) and 30+ as "exceptional." Last year, UCL seemed to use 20 as a general cut off, so 28/42 would be similar, so I was aiming for around 30ish.

Oh, don't get me started on the emails... Did you get an Xmas poem this year?

I mean my Oxford interview, not a Northumbria interview.

I want a university to send me a poem!

Have you applied to Durham then? Where else have you applied to?

I am quite glad I didn't get that question. I actually can't remember what any of mine were now. There was a Richard Dawkins article and one about chinese numbers.

That's what I meant, what did Oxford ask you about it?

whaaat!? where did you hear we have to wait till march?

Their website if I recall correctly, they prefer to wait for the January 20th deadline and compare all the applications at once, instead of trickling them through.

Some people already have Warwick Law offers apparently.

Was going to quote you, but didn't know if you'd mind

Nah, I'd have been fine with it.

I've just realised that you applied to 3 LNAT unis this year! I wish that I was as confident of my LNAT skills as you.
