No, Oxford was the only school in the UK I applied to, and travelled to go for interview. I'm still sad about not getting in but my family couldn't afford the international fees anyways (I applied because I loved the school enough for crushing debt)! I've applied to US schools though (Harvard, Stanford, and Princeton) so I'm hopeful.
Thank you! I was relieved to have done well, it helped soften the blow a bit. Have your UK admissions gone well?
They are some pretty amazing unis you've applied to, when do you hear back from US admissions? I have no idea how the system works in America
just got rejected from KCL so i don't see any hope of UCL giving me an offer now either
Sorry to hear mate :/ Don't lose hope with UCL though. They would have already rejected you if they didn't want you, so that definitely means something!

Sorry to hear, but I have a friend who applied last year who didn't make KCL but got an offer from UCL. His LNAT score was 24 I think, but he wrote a good essay. Good luck!
Hi Jenkinsear. I also received an offer from Durham for Criminology on one of their referred courses (rejected for Law). Do you think it would be crazy to accept that rather that Law at Bristol or Exeter and then consider doing a Law conversion, if I still wanted to do Law? I am more interested in doing Law for the academic investigation and training rather that necessarily becoming a lawyer.
I'd avoid Nottingham- they traditionally dish out way more 2.2's for law than the other universities you mention. A 2.2 is basically a real real impediment in getting jobs, so for that reason alone I would personally be wary of Nottingham as a choice.
As for Bristol vs Exeter I don't think there's much difference really. Bristol probably has the better reputation as an overall University, but Exeter's law school is quite well regarded. Have you visited them both? A common criticism of Exeter is that the City is a bit dull, whilst Bristol obviously is a very studenty City, so perhaps that may be a way of deciding between them? Whichever you pick I wouldn't say either is a bad decision.

In my opinion, no, because you seem to value prestige rather than the subject itself here (since you applied for law everywhere). Bristol (and Exeter, but personally to a lesser extent) boasts a very good law school, and you definitely won't miss out by going there. If you believe you'll like criminology, then definitely go ahead and accept Durham... That's up to you. But in any case, the reputation difference between Durham and Bristol for Law is pretty small, so don't base your decision on that.
I got a 38 on my LNAT applying from the U.S. and I'm still waiting on KCL (received offers from QMUL and Edinburgh both for Law and St. Andrews for IR/Econ) does anyone else think this is weird?
