Have UCL started dishing out offers yet?


Very much so, since last Friday it suddenly surged! I've not heard back yet though

Just got rejected from UCL too! They didn't like my LNAT essay.


Oh, so sorry to hear that :frown: What other offers do you have? And can you tell me when you applied? :biggrin: thank you

14th oct, before Oxbridge deadline.
Got interview for cambridge, but not good enough for UCL apparently.
Guess an interview isnt really impressive either. Ill end up doing an online degree.


The UCL rejection may well just be your LNAT score, and that can largely be down to the questions you get on the day. Cambridge doesn't use an LNAT style test system, and while you're right in saying that an interview isn't necessarily a sign of success as ~80% get one, I would say if the rest of your application is as up to scratch as you say then you stand a decent chance of getting in. Different unis look for different things and I know it's tempting to look at league tables and say "well if I didn't get into a uni that's 5th for Law then how will I get into one that's 2nd or 1st?" but that's a completely specious piece of reasoning. Keep your chin up, you have 4 options left and there's all the chance they could be 4 offers.
Can you guys tell me when should WE (those applying to UCL and Durham) expect offers/rejections? I know it largely depends on when we applied.
However, when will they start sending their decisions - before or after New Year? (applied 18/11 ; LNAT - 25/11)

I did my LNAT on the 8th of October and sent my application in the day after. Since they rejected me yesterday, they are probs still processing the students that applied in October. You might have to wait until January?

For Durham though, my cousin got her law offer last year on Dec 9th.

Congratulations! What were your A level/ IB grades if you don't mind me asking? Also, when did you apply?

LSE and Cambridge both rejected me. The former because of my PS (supposedly) and it hit me really hard, that being my first choice and all. Cambridge I wasn't really counting on getting in.

I do have offers from UEA, QUB and Essex but everybody here seems to be applying for and getting offers from the very best universities. Feeling very humbled now...

But congratulations everyone on all your offers! :smile:

Hey don't worry about it!! I just got my rejection from LSE today, and they gave me the generic response about my PS not being up to standard, which I know for a fact isn't true, as a family friend works in Oxford Admissions and said that, for her, it was an excellent PS. I've requested more feedback because I feel that LSE have been saying that PSs aren't good enough to a number of students, so we'll see what they say :smile:
Don't feel too disheartened - I know it's a cliché, and hard to stomach, but everything happens for a reason. Just do your degree and prove LSE and Cambridge wrong by being the best lawyer you can be - that's what I'm going to do to LSE hahaha X

Hi! Thanks so much for making me feel better about this :smile: Yeah I'm also planning to do that haha. Sorry about your LSE application also going that way but good luck with the rest of your applications!

Hi I haven't applied to UCL but was given an offer from Durham about 2 weeks ago, my application was sent off at the beginning of October though so may be because that was a long time ago.

I don't know how true it is but I've heard Durham give out a few now and the rest early next year, hopefully you will get one soon! :smile:
I haven't heard anything back from LSE yet. hmmm.
And, how do i go about asking a uni for feedback? should i email the admissions ? (want to ask UCL!)
